Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn’t work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.

Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn’t shut itself down without installing Google SDK?

    For what it’s worth, I’ve just given it a quick test with microg.

    Opened the app, it seems to be okay, though it’s asking for a phone number to create an account or log in. Do you know if it would fail prior to that point without play services?

      from when I would try it it would immediately pop up saying no Google Play Services and then you’d click OK and it would immediately crash without asking for a phone number or anything so it would not stay open for more than about two seconds

      Yeah it would immediately say GPS is required and shut down. Thanks for confirming it works with micro-g!
