Description

The DroidGuard Helper (an maybe other components) have the hardcoded version, example:
public static final int GMS_VERSION_CODE = 10084430;
public static final String GMS_VERSION_NAME_PREFIX = "10.0.84 (430-";

I think it would be better if they check the version of the installed microG Service Core at runtime and use it across all packages.
