Description

I installed the latest update to microg from froid 2.7.17455 (i didn't check if it was the "mapbox" version, i just took the default update from fdroid).
After the update tinder 10.0.0.1 will no longer start (see attached log file) and the later tinder versions still fail because they are clearly desperate for some unknown Google location service!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached logcat_and_device_info.zip and reproducing the failure with microG 2.7.17455 and Tinder 10.0.0.1. Compare the default F-Droid update with the Mapbox version and determine which Google location service dependency prevents Tinder from starting; done means the affected Tinder version launches successfully.
