Interesting. If I just don’t use any apps from the play store and only use stuff from fdroid with no play services I should see no issues though yeah?
Already does. Some apps just don’t work. It’ll notif. And say Google api failed to validate login to your Google account. Example app EBay.

Long as you beware that F droid apps could be malware or some other kind of bad actors. It’s a free range marketplace just be smart. Just because something is FOSS or open source doesn’t mean it’s free of bad stuff.

There’s always a chance any app, even from fdroid, will require play services, but that’s still highly unlikely. You should be fine with fdroid alone, yes.

can confirm, I’m running GrapheneOS right now with F-Droid and some extra repos as my only app store, it works fine for me. but I don’t use banking apps (web browsers do fine for that), and I’m using a de-Firebase-d version of Signal (Molly F-Droid) so no issues so far with no GMS and no SafetyNet.

No idea but that is one I know about. Apparently the list keeps growing of these API calls being denied or flagged.
