Description

Heya,

would it be possible to provide ZIPs that are flashable from recovery? Having a ROM that does not include MicroG the GCM/FCM checkin is lost all the time you update the ROM. That kinda breaks Apps like Signal since it needs to be re-installed all the time to force a checkin. In the process you lose your private keys and all the groups you used to be invited in.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or packaging entry points. Start by tracing how GmsCore is currently distributed and updated, then determine the requirements for a recovery-installable ZIP that preserves GCM/FCM check-in across ROM updates. Done means a documented, testable recovery-flashable package is available.
