Description

Hello

I'm running an Mi A1 Stock Oreo. I used the Terminal Debloater and removed as much of Google as I understand...

Apps Installed
Xposed - version 90-beta 3
FakeGapps - 2.0
Magisk 16.0
F-Droid 1.2.2 -(Expert mode 'checked' - Privileged Extension 'checked')
Magisk - F-Droid Privileged Extension (2018-05-03)

I added in the microG repo;
https://microg.org/fdroid/repo

When I did a search for microg DroidGuard Helper & FakeStore had no Install' button showing, and said at the bottom for both apps; No versions with compatibile signatures```

So I installed the versions below manually.

Store (FakeStore release) - com.android.vending-16.apk
DroidGuard Helper - org.microg.gms.droidguard-4.apk

Why couldn't DroidGuard Helper & FakeStore be installed through F-Droid?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the F-Droid search and installation flow with the microG repository and the listed FakeStore and DroidGuard Helper versions. Investigate why both show “No versions with compatible signatures”; done when the cause is identified and the apps can be installed through F-Droid or the issue is documented with a confirmed limitation.
