This doesn’t fix your problem but what I believe you are seeing is something asking you to update Google Play Services , this isn’t related to the Play Store.
GPS contains libraries and other things apps need to function.
An oversimplification would be that it is an analog to Android System Webview which enables web browsing in most apps not based on Firefox.
No, it’s definitely asking (demanding at this point) to update the app I start. I hid the name and icon of the app because it’s irrelevant and didn’t want to divert the discussion (it’s Sync for Lemmy). It’s possible though that the app triggers this pop-up from play store via some function.
I actually even downloaded an apk from apkmirror so it’s not linked to Google Play Store and it still pops up.![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/89c97662-3d02-4667-b24c-9b2aab1ee633.webp)

I see. So it’s probably because I don’t have Google Play Store in the first place. Maybe it can be configured somehow. No idea
