October update to Target Store app no longer work on Android without Google Services Framework (lemmy.world)

For those of us running GrapheneOS, Beware that the latest update to the Target store app for Android requires Google Services Framework (GSF) and does not work properly on GrapheneOS, even, apparently, with the compatibility layer enabled.

Fluff piece confirming the app was rewritten

If you use Aurora app store, you can download the previous, still functional, version using this version code:

versionCode 1906002333

This version can only be installed via Aurora after uninstalling the newer version.

Update: The un-updated app no longer functions for me. That was fast (2 weeks).

I used to use OurGroceries (with network disabled) and that app stopped working on any android without a signed-in Google account. The only thing these measures are going to achieve is push people to foss which I'm fine with.
