It's possible you downloaded the wrong version of the app. If you look at various apps on APKMirror, such as Google Photos, there are many different variants available. You want to use an arm64-v8a version, preferably "nodpi" as that should work with all devices.

For some reason Google made an absurd last minute decision to make 32bit arm apps incompatible with the Pixel 7 at the software level. There is a workaround which I can confirm does work, as I am using it, but to get it to work if you have already rooted your phone with magisk you will have to backup your data and then do a wipe of the device.
The workaround is at this thread

I am trying 64bit versions apk only but those are mod apks for games and I think modded apk Google might have banned installing on Pixel 7/7 Pro

There's a new restriction with Android 13 for sideloaded apps not from Play Store, F-Droid and maybe other stores. I ran into it with an apk from Github. Your error doesn't relate but installing from a file manager is a symptom. In any case, if you think this restriction could be part of your problem search ACCESS_RESTRICTED_SETTINGS for a possible workaround.

@Nnik345 here you can find an answer and imo you should ask related questions better here instead of opening a new thread.

Same issue with me on my old note 3.
Google likely banned it because of the hide function.
its romeved. wqs there 2 days ago
Yes, this has already been reported a number of times in the Magisk support thread. Like @Strephon Alkhalikoi says, it's most likely because of Magisk Hide and what it can do. No surprise really...
It's still available in the release thread.
Yes, I received a notice that my app is banned from Play Store
For more info, check out my new post in the main thread.

F-Droid, XDA's storefront, hell even /r/Android operates an app store.

F-Droid is NOT an app store for open source apps but for FLOSS apps.
Magisk Manager is NOT a FLOSS app (Play Services dependencies for instance) so it can't be added to the F-Droid repo.
ok, if magisk removed from playstore, how to use it (because open it alway show a popup goto playstore)

I'm not so sure about that... Of course, it's up to @topjohnwu, but that would mean removing the Magisk repo and also probably Magisk Hides ability to mess with SafetyNet and SELinux (a very much used feature). He claims himself he prefers to keep the Manager as it is and just distribute it through other channels.

Nope, I just wanted to say that he will (I guess ) release a new version without Google Play Store dependencies. Actually when flashing Magisk zip and the apk file of Magisk Manager, we have a pop-up message saying that we have to go to the Play Store to update the app. This will be fixed in the next update. From now on, I expect another pop-up saying 'update Magisk Manager from XDA/AFH/MediaFire...'

Actually, it can be added it will just have the "promotes non-free network services" anti-feature. There are lots of non-FLOSS apps on F-Droid and they are marked as such.

Check the submission pages of F-Droid and let me know if you find a lot of new apps that have anti-features... Did you already see an app which has Play Services dependencies? We are not talking about non-free assets here or the app promotes non-free networks...
where is the link for manager since no link in release thread works, mirror will just open github with no binary/APK to download

ARCore

Anyone had any luck having ARCore applications run on the Mi 9? I could install it but trying to use it inside of an app (Pokemon GO) causes the app to freeze with a black screen.
EDIT:
After following Mr. cd993's guide to installing the MIUI EU ROM last night, I was successfully able to sideload and use ARCore without any apps crashing. I believe this might be down to the fact that the EU ROM has enabled the 'camera2' api? Unsure, but it works
The guide I followed is below, with the added step of downloading the ARCore application from apkmirror —

To clarify the game works fine – but trying to utalise the 'AR+' functionality (taking photos of Pokemon in AR) after installing the ARCore.apk myself, causes the game to freeze.
I know this device is not officially supported by ARCore but was hoping there might be a way to get it working anyway.

top magisk modules

Just rooted my Pixel 3a last night running Android Q Beta 6. What are some good magisk modules that I should install to make the Pixel 3a even better? Thanks
Active Edge Mod for Pixel Devices - allows you to customize the side sensor buttons. I have it set up to the default Google assistant except when the camera is open - then it takes a picture.
Viper4 AndroidFX - there are several versions available. They all use the same driver and have the same options. The difference is is only in the GUI.
Vanced Youtube - provides ad free Youtube experience.
Advanced Charging Controller (by VR25) - allows a user to customize how and when the phone is charged. It helps prolong the battery life.
Systemless Hosts - more of a Magisk setting, but it does install this module. Allows ad blocking through Adaway or similar ad blocking app.

Good call. After trying Beta 4 for a brief period of time, I went back to Pie so I'm out of the loop on what works and doesn't work with the beta.

the active edge guy is SUPER on the ball and posts updated versions in his telegram group if you're that way inclined. but yeah youtube vanced is my only functioning module right now. i'm sure most of them will be updated for Q in the coming months.
I'm a fan of energized pro for ad blocking, but you'll need the systemless hosts and BusyBox modules for it to work. These days I root my phone mainly for ad blocking.
for Vanced Youtube, is there a different module needed for it to work? I installed it in my Pixel 3a Rooted/Bootloader unlock, and the app was not even showing up

I don't think you need to uninstall the actual Youtube app, but you do need to uninstall any "updates" for the Youtube app. I've found that after installing the Magisk module, I can go into the Playstore and pull up the Youtube app. There will be a "uninstall updates" button where the normal uninstall button would be. However you need to install the module first. Otherwise the button will uninstall the app instead of uninstalling the updates.
That's been my experience at least.....

Yes. You have to install V4A FX v2.7.0.0 because v2.7.1.0 driver installation is broken on Q for now.

Here you have the APK. Install it and then the driver installation should install the magisk module.
I have the 2.7.1.0 version of Viper4Android installed and working just fine on Android 10. It was installed and working on Android 9 and it continued to work when I upgraded to Android 10. I sideloaded the .020 version of the Android 10 OTA image.
The Magisk module was last updated on May 31, 2019, so it obviously hasn't specifically been updated for Android 10. Perhaps it won't install on Android 10, but will work if upgraded from Android 9. I also have the Audio Modification Library module and the Audio Compatibility Patch module installed as well. Perhaps that makes a difference?????

If remote play already saw you're rooted, it'll remember you're rooted even if you unroot. Clear the storage of remote play or uninstall then reinstall it so it has to check again.
Hi my friend! I have tried many times!
1 Uninstalled app,
2rebooted device,,
3 reinstalled app
4 hidden app from magisk
5 hidden magisk
6 open app
Same error!!
I have lineage unofficial custom rom! Nougat 7.1
Galaxy tab 3 8.0
This simulates build fingerprint of Huawei device. My theory is this works then because Huawei messed up with implementing the new SafetyNet checks correctly on this device. This is why Google made a exception to check the old way for devices with this fingerprint. But I am just guessing... Let's see how long this works

So go to play store or browser and download a awesome app called "PSPlay". It works for rooted devices and also allows mobile data use if set up right.

Is there a Magisk module to remove all google apps and services?

I'm looking to get an Android phone but I don't want any google apps or services on it including the play store. Is there a Magisk module that can remove all the google apps and services and play store from a phone? I did a search for "remove google apps" and other such searches but could not find what I'm looking for. I see that the Aurora app store is an alternative play store. Is it safe to use?
Thank you for your advice!
Easiest would be to just flash a custom ROM and don't bother with installing Gapps. Voilà, free of Google apps and services.

Thank you for the reply. I agree but from my research I could not find custom ROMs available for the Pixel 3 that are officially supported and stable. Please recommend one if there is one that is officially supported and stable. If there is not I would like to know the steps after I root a phone to remove all the google apps and services.
https://f-droid.org/app/org.droidtr.deletegapps
But its very likely to experience bugs and problems (like force closes). The best option is to use a custom Rom
Or you can try the Nanodroid Module (to install microG), probably better than just remove GApps.
AuroraDroid/-store works as it should. I don't know what you mean by 'safe'.

Thank you for the reply. Ok I really would rather use a custom ROM. LineageOS to be precise but there is no official support for the Pixel 3. That's why I'm asking if there is a way, after rooting the phone, to remove all the google apps and services. You mentioned MicroG but does that actually remove all the google apps and services? I looked up MicroG and it looks to be for people who still want to use google apps and services but securely. I don't use anything google apps or services. There are some Microsoft apps I need for work so that's why I asked about Aurora. When I asked if Aurora is safe I meant does Aurora track or do anything unsecure.
Is there a LineageOS custom ROM that does work with the Pixel 3? If not then do I use MicroG to remove all the google stuff?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I've spent hours researching this stuff and there is so much info I read up on that I just need some clarity. Thanks for your patience.

To get rid of issues, uninstall any google apps you want systemlessly using Debloater ( Terminal Emulator ).

"Official" and "unofficial" are quite often just terms to clarify, if the builder is part of the dev-team and/or if the Rom/Code is reviewed by one of the dev-team. It is possible, that an unofficial Rom isn't working as good as an official would, but I experienced this quite rarely.
BUT: unofficials usually don't have the possibility to OTA update.
But in the end, "official" and "unofficial" doesn't have to mean much
So my tip: Install and try some Roms, unofficial ones too ^_^

MicroG is an open source and privacy focused Google Services Framework. Its goal is to let apps work, which rely on GApps. I suggested it to grant a bit more stability to your un-googled stock Rom. Because the GApps are most likely deep buried into your (Stock)System, which can lead to severe instability and crashes if you just forcibly rip them out.
At least that's my experience. I never had a usable system with a blank removal of GApps
On a custom Rom its not necessary, if all apps you use work without GApps

No, Aurora is safe as far as I know (I'm using it myself)
If you are in doubt (and able to) you can check its source code

I can try to check later. An "official" Lineage is quite unlikely, but maybe I find smth else
But yes, if you can't find a fitting Rom, you'll have to try with manually debloating/microG.
You can try to debloat your phone slowly with "Terminal Debloater" like someone already suggested.
One App/Service after another. If smth breaks, you can simply revert it, because this works systemless
No problem, just ask XDA is a forum and I'm here to help
Lineage is available for Pixel 3. It is unofficial, but built by someone on the Lineage team. Check the Pixel 3xl forum. Most custom roms are posted there, but are actually for both devices. The thing is, most custom roms for the device come with GAPPs included (Including Lineage), so not useful for you. This is getting OT though.

On a custom Rom its not necessary, if all apps you use work without GApps
No, Aurora is safe as far as I know (I'm using it myself)
If you are in doubt (and able to) you can check its source code
I can try to check later. An "official" Lineage is quite unlikely, but maybe I find smth else
But yes, if you can't find a fitting Rom, you'll have to try with manually debloating/microG.
You can try to debloat your phone slowly with "Terminal Debloater" like someone already suggested.
One App/Service after another. If smth breaks, you can simply revert it, because this works systemless
No problem, just ask XDA is a forum and I'm here to help

Thank you for the very detailed reply. Very helpful. I decided to get a Oneplus 7T and not a Pixel 3. I did research and found that most custom ROMs for the Oneplus 7T do not officially support Android 10 as well as MicroG and TWRP. The unofficial custom ROMs note that there are bugs and some instability currently. Being a newbie and needing my Oneplus 7T to be reliable as it's my only phone I rather have an officially supported LineageOS with MicroG custom ROM when it's released. Until then I need help figuring out the best method to remove all gapps and services. I don't use any google apps. I do use Microsoft apps so I need those to not only work but be able to send notifications. I also need to have location services work for a non-google maps app and weather app. I would like to keep Oxygen OS as it has some customizations features I like. Am I asking too much? Lol. However, since microG is not supported I don't think I can do what I'm looking for since MicroG removes all gapps and services and replaces them including location services ability and notifications. Does Magisk have a module that can do what I'm looking for?
You'll likely find better help in the OP7T forums:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t
There is a debloater module you could use for this purpose, you'll find it on the Manager downloads section. Keep in mind that anything you do with a Magisk module is a systemless modification and the files will still be on your device (just masked by Magisk) and will return if you every disable/uninstall the module or remove Magisk. If you want a more permanent solution you'll need to use other means.

I couldn't find the Manager downloads on the OP7T forum. Can you provide a direct link to the Manager downloads?
The "Manager downloads" is in the Magisk Manager, the app.
What I meant was that it will likely be easier for you to find help with debloating the device in its own forum.
