phucvu4324 · 2024-12-11T15:31:38Z

I tried with 0.3.5.240913, but its still the same, nothing changed.

mcgi5sr2 · 2024-12-11T15:37:00Z

0.3.2.240913-21 same issue.

I think their is another issue open that covers this, so potential duplicate

Quills245 · 2024-12-11T15:38:26Z

Family link login also seems to be broken after updating to 2.42.0.T.702836465

Downgrading to Family Link 2.41.0.S.703253343 worked

phucvu4324 · 2024-12-11T15:41:01Z

0.3.2.240913-21 same issue.

I think their is another issue open that covers this, so potential duplicate

it affects any microG version, as far as i tested from 0.2.26 till 0.3.5

phucvu4324 · 2024-12-11T15:42:09Z

I think their is another issue open that covers this, so potential duplicate

i don't think so, there just issue about Maps doesn't work

LZeugirdor · 2024-12-11T19:33:41Z

Can confirm this is happening for me on Calyx OS on the Pixel 4A. Gmail JUST got updated and is no longer working, my google voice has been out all day today and yesterday.

Tentos · 2024-12-11T19:58:16Z

I have installed com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox and tried to capture possible errors with LogFox.

I have stumbled upon the following messages:

1733945761.615 10281 24955 24983 W GoogleApiManager: The service for ctpu is not available: ConnectionResult{statusCode=SERVICE_INVALID, resolution=null, message=null}
1733945761.615 10281 24955 25984 W GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox requires Google Play services, but their signature is invalid.
1733945761.615 10281 24955 25984 E GooglePlayServicesUtil: GooglePlayServices not available due to error 9

Unfortunately, I cannot interpret the meaning of "signature is invalid" - maybe the spoofed microg signature is no longer considered up to date?

I can upload the entire log file if necessary (I will however have to make sure that no sensitive information is included).

Device: OnePlus 6, /e/OS T 2.5; microg version 0.3.2.240913-102

stanwood77 · 2024-12-11T21:33:03Z

Confirmed. Same issue on /e/OS Version 2.5T stable (Android 13) - Fairphone 4 not rooted.
Google calendar + Google mail stopped working last night further both app updates.

microg version 0.3.2.240913-102 (d28f5bc)

ghost · 2024-12-11T22:00:45Z

I can confirm, latest Google Drive app can't find my Google account. I will give the logs here.

EDIT: I only found this sentence from the logs:
1733954570.056 10288 6376 6400 W GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.google.android.apps.docs requires Google Play services, but their signature is invalid. and it continues spamming like this.

Device information:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy A52 4G
OS: LineageOS 21 (Official, December 9 nightly build)
microG versions: microG Services (v0.3.5.240913), microG Companion (v0.3.5.40226), microG Services Framework Proxy (v0.1.0)
Installation method: Followed the official installation guide from the wiki.

Confirmed issue on e/OS 2.5, Fairphone 5 unrooted, MicroG 0.3.2.240913-102

tjanez · 2024-12-12T09:52:25Z

Here are the versions I needed to downgrade to in order for the Google Apps to start working again with microG 0.3.2.240913-21 (9f758d8) that comes with CalyxOS 6.2.0:

Google Drive:
- Version: 2.24.467.5.all
- Version code: 213814724
- https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/drive/drive-2-24-467-5-all-release/
Google Maps:
- Version: 24.47.05.699977727
- Version code: 1067804539
- https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/maps/maps-24-47-05-699977727-release/
Google Chat:
- Version: 2024.11.17.700122806.Release
- Version code: 5580568
- https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/hangouts-chat/hangouts-chat-2024-11-17-700122806-release-release/

The steps for downgrading:

Uninstall the app (CAUTION: Your app permissions and settings will be lost!).
Find the app in Aurora Store and click on the three dots in the top right corner and select "Manual download".
Enter the desired Version code and click "Check". The app will be downloaded and installed afterwards.

mar-v-in · 2024-12-12T10:01:49Z

Google seemingly has updated their signature checking code. On Android 9 and above, the latest code uses PackageInfo.signingInfo (via GET_SINGNING_CERTIFICATES flags) instead of PackageInfo.signatures (via GET_SIGNATURES flag). This will likely roll out to non-Google apps in the future as well.

This means that all signature spoofing patches need to be updated to address the change of API usage by - in addition to the PackageInfo.signatures also spoofing the PackageInfo.signingInfo. There's unfortunately nothing we can do in microG itself.

zykure · 2024-12-12T15:17:48Z

@tjanez
Thanks, can confirm this solves the issue for now! I also had to downgrade Calendar on FP4 / microG 0.3.2.240913-102 (d28fb5c):

Google Calendar:
- Version: 2024.46.2-700284849
- Version code: 2017604273
- https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/calendar/calendar-2024-46-2-700284849-release-release/

ale5000-git · 2024-12-12T15:21:26Z

Since plain LineageOS does support signature spoofing, did anyone submit this issue to them?

mar-v-in · 2024-12-12T15:26:43Z

Someone already submitted the patch from @jonathanklee to LineageOS: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_frameworks_base/+/411374

pnaf · 2024-12-12T18:00:05Z

Downstream projects such as /e/OS have begun applying the patch: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android_frameworks_base/-/commit/2b9c74a4409f41924905c4b28aa900904e442992

I also saw this announcement from a few of /e/OS's social media accounts:

A fix is available and will be deployed through an OTA update early next week.

is it can be included on next microG Service Core update? I wonder if lineage-microG also apply this patch

ale5000-git · 2024-12-13T04:01:46Z

"microG Service Core" is an app, the patch is for the ROM so it is completely unrelated.

The patch for LineageOS isn't yet merged, once merged it will likely be picked up by every other ROM.

what for -hw variant? i think fake-signature also must be updated with new spoofing method

ale5000-git · 2024-12-13T05:59:11Z

On the -hw version is Huawei that handle the signature spoofing, so only Huawei can change it.

But are you sure that Huawei is also affected by this issue?
Since the way signature spoofing is handled is different the problem may be different or may not happen.

petefoth · 2024-12-13T07:16:58Z

As @ale5000-git says

The patch for LineageOS isn't yet merged, once merged it will likely be picked up by every other ROM.

The Lineageos for microG project will monitor the progress of the patch in the LineageOS gerrit. We will only act if LineageOS decide not to merge the patch

heinhuiz · 2024-12-13T09:13:14Z

Speech Recognition & Synthesis (com.google.android.tts) is also affected.

Last working version: googletts.google-speech-apk_20241030.02_p0.691594814
Version number: 210521474

Huawei has no problems, everything works as it worked. No problems

Some major Google Apps stopped relying on the deprecated `packageInfo.signature` field and started using `packageInfo.signingInfo` instead. This commit introduces spoofing for the `signingInfo` field to maintain compatibility. Unfortunately, spoofing the `signingInfo` field is is a little more involved than spoofing the `signature` field, because the former relies on a `SigningDetails` class which is not part of the public SDK API [1]. We rely on reflection to instantiate the `SigningDetails` object, and to find the associated `SigningInfo` constructor. See also: - microg/GmsCore#2680 - https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/android_frameworks_base/-/commit/2b9c74a4409f41924905c4b28aa900904e442992 [1] https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/1c19b376095446666df2b2d9290dac3ef71da846:frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/pm/SigningDetails.java

@DEV-197

There's still a fix awaiting for Android 9 to 12, if that's your case. whew-inc/FakeGApps#25

porcoddiocanebastardo · 2024-12-17T12:52:41Z

Hi, sorry to bother you and thanks a lot for your work!
I still have same problem, changed FakeGApps, rebooted soo many times, different version and way to install microG packages (Revived/MinMicroG/MicroGGApps/direct debloat and installation method), all in different way for two days, no result, I can't update GApps (Map-Calendar-Gmail-Contacts-Messages...) and so I can't use Revanced Youtube packages in mount-root mode has I did before, this time I have to install it in GSMCore way.
Everything work for a year until these Google Updates. I'm a noob but I've always modify Stock Roms of my phones.

In this case I have:
-Ulefone Armor 20WT with Android 12 Stock Rom (build TF3_EEA_V12)
-Root flash boot.img with Magisk
-LSPosed with: FakeGApps6 - GravityBox12.0.0S - DisableFlagSecure2.0.0
-De-Bloater eliminated PlayStore-PlayServices-Framework
-Companion0.3.5 - microG0.3.5 - microGServiceFrameworkProxy all installed without conflicts
-microG 0.3.5 all is ticked OK, only problem in "SafetyNet: CTS profile does not match"

SPIC give errors of pictures and apps too (in picture I try to open Calendar updated version, with old ther's no problems like others GApps).

Thanks a lot for your work and your attention, I'm really so glad to talk and read about you!

gilbsgilbs · 2024-12-17T12:58:51Z

@porcoddiocanebastardo You are using Android 12. Did you try the fix I just mentioned: whew-inc/FakeGApps#25 ?

porcoddiocanebastardo · 2024-12-17T13:40:01Z

I have try now!
It function!!!
I try all now and I write here: whew-inc/FakeGApps#25

Thanks a lot!!!

petefoth · 2024-12-17T16:04:57Z

LineageOS for microG (no info yet)

The code was merged in the upstream lineage-21.0 branch at 20:52 yesterday. Looking at the `MicroG LineageOS builds' Matrix room I think that lemonadep should be the first build to have the fix. Other devices will pick up the fix in due course as they are built

IodéOS: the patches have been applied, and are available in beta updates for some devices. The fix should make it in to the next build run (v5.8)

D3SOX · 2024-12-17T20:29:59Z

Adding to this:

CalyxOS: Fix merged, included in 6.2.1, currently in Beta (https://calyxos.org/news/2024/12/13/15-december-qpr1-security-update/) and works fine for me

Once the patch rolls out live will it be safe to update apps or should we stick to older versions still?

Huawei below P60 was found the problem with this. Above P60 was perfect with 0.3.3 and 0.3.5
