Description

Now that FakeStore/Companion has been merged into GmsCore and license verification was added the only thing missing is support to download language packs in e.g. Google Maps (app language) or Google Lens (offline dictionary) which are both relying on com.android.vending to stream (optional) assets.

Research direction

Start by reading the FakeStore/Companion implementation in GmsCore and tracing how license verification handles requests from com.android.vending. Compare the optional language-pack behavior needed by Google Maps and Google Lens, then define completion as successfully streaming those language assets through GmsCore.
