**EDIT 2 AKA SOLVED: i changed my installation method from session to shizuku in the aurora settings, then i reinstalled the app and it works ** EDIT: it seems like i needed to enable the play store, and when i did the message wasn’t there but it instead opened the play store and asked me to log in, which i won’t do cause i use aurora store

so i downloaded this app (link somewhere here) from the play store and it needs play services, and luckily enough i have it enabled with some permissions. BUT when i open it and wait like 2 seconds a message pops up that says “Check that Google Play is enabled on your device and that you’re using an up-to-date version before opening the app. If the problem persists try reinstalling the app.”

help plz

    For me, MicroG is the sweet spot: it’s an open source reimplementation of the Play Services. I installed the app from Aurora and it works without complaining: check “LineageOS with MicroG”.

        Play Store and Play Services are not the same thing: the first is just the app store, the second is a set of tools that the apps can use to do things on your phone. Aurora replaces the Play Store, while MicroG mocks the Play Services.
