I was previously posting about trying to charge an EV while using #LineageOS. I ordered an RFID tag from #Chargepoint, which works well, and I tried their app too. I thought that it wasn't working because of Google Play Integrity, which prevents banking apps for instance from working on unsigned devices. It turns out that I can still log in and even initiate a charge from the app, but because I don't have Google Play Services installed on my device I can't use the map feature to search for charging stations. I don't really care that much about this, since I can use #CoMaps for the same purpose.

I'm aware I can use #microG to get this functionality, and that I can get some level of device signing, but I don't care to.

I am of the same mindset. I would rather not use an app at all than to be forced to allow my phone to communicate with Google in any way, which includes microG. Luckily, most services that use an app, including my bank, have a website, and I just open my browser to view that information.

Actually when I tried it, I found that although you don't see the map, and it isn't obvious, that it was still possible to use the search field.
