  I thought I’d mention as it hasn’t been mentioned yet: the only way to install the game on Android is through Google Play. You also need to join a Google Group to get access on Google Play.

  The game requires Google Play Services for the pedometer to work (the game uses the new Recording API to count your steps while the game is closed). On GrapheneOS I’ve heard it works if you run it in a sandbox. You don’t need a Google account for the Recording API to work, and according to the developer documentation data is stored locally.

  If you can run sandboxed apps woth Google Play Services, it should work, but I’ve not heard from LineageOS users any experiences.

    Thanks.

    I’ll have a look if I can sandbox in lineage first, then maybe apply for the beta test if it looks possible.

      If you apply, make sure to mention that! Would appreciate hearing if it works or not.
