Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Because of the need for system app permissions(location providing, signature spoofing) now the only viable way to use microG GMSCore is to install the apk on system/vendor partition which is mostly done via magisk modules. These modules are rather bulky and update with every release of GmsCore.
Describe the solution you'd like
Providing stub that has minimum needed permissions for GmsCore and GfsProxy saves some space on those partitions, makes updating the needed modules less bulky and maybe less frequent.
Describe alternatives you've considered
