They should add login and subscription handling on their website as well like so many do, with 30% off on the subscription fee because there’d be no Google tax.
What OS are you on?
CalyxOS, which uses microG.
Is it just you can’t pay for the subscription or the notification process (MicroG GCM) doesn’t work?
Looks like both. Beeper mini (and a lot of other apps) ask the play store if the user paid for the app, which is a heavily pretexts part of goggles services… so using non-Google services means I can’t sign into beeper mini at all. They can’t prove I paid for it, especially since I don’t have a Google account at all.
Oh, so no Google account. Yea, looks like Beeper Mini relies on GCM, so without an account there’s no way to notify you that messages are to be retrieved.
I was really wondering if the issue was MicroG.
Hopefully the devs will be willing to work on using a notification process outside of GCM, even if that means polling by Beeper, once they get to a level of stability.
Though I think they’ll likely work on integrating other messengers first.
Well I do have GCM, it’s how all my other apps are able to work, even pokemon etc.
I think it’s purely that beeper is relying on Google authenicating that I paid for the app. Could there be a cracked apk? Probably, but I’m not willing to risk using that.
