Description
Affected app
Name: Uber
Package id: com.ubercab
Describe the bug
After completing registration the app is starting with this error:
Uber won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Start 'Uber' app
Expected behavior
Uber app runs w/o problems.
System
Android Version: 12
Custom ROM: LineageOS 19-20220823-microG-dumpling
microG
microG Core version: 0.2.24.214816
microG Self-Check results: All ticked

Additional information
Several other apps report the same error, e.g. Lyft (me.lvft.android).
I assume this is related to a map required by the apps.
