Description
This is somewhat related to issue #1745.
The developers of ShiftOS would consider shipping microG as a system app. However, they are concerned that delivering it as a default app might be problematic for users. Some may want a system that is completely free of Google services, although it is possible to disable device registration, cloud messaging, etc. in microG.
So the idea came up to ship an empty signed stub package. That way, anyone who wants to use it could install the fully functional version of microG as an update.
A non-functional stub would certainly be more acceptable for those who wont use it and everyone else could use it as a system app. It would also support the adoption of microG.
What do you think? Would that be possible?
