GmsCore: BT Sport - Won't Run Unless You Update Google Play Services

BT Sport is complaining it wants the Google Play Services updated.

Here’s the app on Play Store; (It is suppose to be a Paid App but there are versions online) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bt.btsport&hl=en

My Specs:

OnePlus 5T OxygenOS 5.1.7 - Oreo 8.1.0 GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280.apk - Installed to /system/priv-app/GmsCore Services Framework Proxy v0.1.0 - installed to /system/app/GsfProxy FakeStore-v0.0.2 - Installed to /system/priv-app/FakeStore

Before installing FakeStore I had the Play Store installed, with a Google Account also active in the device, which I had downloaded an app through the Play Store, so I know the Google Account and Play Store work properly with microG installed.

After I installed BT Sport and tried to run it, I received a popup message telling me to update the Google Play Services. I know this has been an issue in the past, typically resolved by either installing GmsCore to /priv-app which I have already done, or updating to the latest version of GmsCore which I have the latest.

So at this point I’m assuming microG isn’t supporting this app. I hope this issue can be resolved to get BT Sport working with microG?

Thanks

yes, that doesn’t sound “difficult” at all, so you mean overwriting it practically, my worry is do the registered apps remain registered? or will I have to install them again? because I’ve got over 30 apps registered in microg

No nothing painful at all, all you have to do is remove /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk the original and replace the NanoDroid version to this path.

Nothing difficult about it.

@mar-v-in is the microG project still alive?

I’ve seen a lot of apps in the past year that are not working with the official microG, complaining they want the Google Play Services, but with the latest changes @Nanolx has provided to microG, I see this working now.

But it would be great if official microG would play catch up and put out an update soon so there is better support.

Will we see an update to microG soon? This is sorely needed… 🤕

Thanks
