Error getting google certificate (gapps, waydroid)

Error code:

Solution

And Android 11 itself does not guarantee that the necessary applications will work. It is better, as I said, to use webapp-manager. I why this message as an answer to the question. At the same time, I recommend not to look towards waydroid

I did everything in order according to the official instructions. I didn't try Android 11, because I got a little frustrated because of the blank error. I'll try it tomorrow.

android 11 is working fine. After I get the certificate from google, is there an option to update android to the latest version? I'm afraid there might be app compatibility issues on version 11

Downloaded deepseek from play market. I can't authorize via google: nothing happens. Downloaded local market app: complains about vpn, which doesn't exist.

Apparently there is nothing better than webapp-manager

Afaik android13 support is still underway in waydroid

Even on android 11 not much works. I don't see the point of this shell at all and why it's installed by default in the distro. Is there any way to remove it from the system?

There's this issue thread on github https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/563
seems like arm translation layers are broken on 13

Read it, I wrote it all.

Personally i don't use google play at all on waydroid, but i have succeeded at certifying (by installing gapps ‪→‬ launching waydroid ‪→‬ certifying ‪→‬ wait 10 mins & restart)

If you need a simple APK/XAPK, you can try using apkcombo and their installer

There is also this that spoof your waydroid image to pixel 5 (outdated, i know), but i observed that it also takes care of certification https://github.com/YogSottot/waydroid_stuff/blob/master/weston/spoof-device.sh

And why did you write all that? Did I write anywhere that I'm having trouble getting certified on android 11? Or having trouble installing apps?

Well i assumed your "read it" answer to my "what doesn't work for you in 11" was referring to this message, my bad for not correctly assuming i guess

amel•3/8/25, 8:41 AM

But for now only android 11 works with waydroid, and the android 13 part of the script doesnt actually do stuff bc 13 support in waydroid doednt exist yet
