Comment on Why does Satispay not work without play services?

I’m guess that’s the same issue for the LIDL app, they hardcoded the google maps library for the store search. Completely pointless as it would be perfectly usable without it.
So, like for the LIDL app, Satispay has a version without play services on the Huawei Store: appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C100868471
For the LIDL app they made a separate version without play services on the huawei store appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C102933829
Very useful to know - may explain why the lidl app doesn’t work correctly on my device, although not the same issue you had

this is very interesting! How can I install it on a non-huawei smartphone? do I need to install their store? It seems a bit of a counter sense to install another closed source app store…

I installed their store in a VM (they freely allow install on any device), then I extract the apps
IMHO they should have named it like “petal store”, because anyway it’s not operated by Huawei itself but by an European entity sockpuppet and then they might had some extra downloads from other devices

and how do you update? you have to manually check in the VM if a new version is available?
