Provide split APK components for other languages than English for com.android.vending
geppi opened this issue · 3 comments
In the Sandboxed Google Play section of the Usage guide the link for com.android.vending does lead to a repository that only contains the English version, i.e. only the split_config.en.apk component for localisation is provided.
I'm currently looking up the matching version of the Google Play Store package on apkmirror and extract the German version split_config.de.apk. However, it would be much more convenient if the APK files for other languages would be available directly from https://apps.grapheneos.org/packages/com.android.vending.
Are these other localisation APKs easily accessible in the extraction process used to obtain the files for https://apps.grapheneos.org/packages/com.android.vending ?
If yes, would it be possible to include them please ?
It's not easily accessible yet but we do plan to support this.
The main issue is we don't know how to easily obtain these right now. We probably need to set up using the Play Store API to fetch them instead of grabbing them off a stock OS device, currently a Pixel 4 that's locked and used to securely obtain them.
This is implemented for our repository for major languages. We also now support Play Store updating itself and Play services. It will ask to reinstall even the same version and will install additional splits.
