@organicmaps Guys I don't know if you don't see my comments. Android Auto won't work on apps from fdroid/obtainium/your website, No matter the signing process. It all depends on android version, but there are too much people using android 12+, so recommending a method that will make app partially unusable is wrong.

@nictakiego Not everyone needs Android Auto. There is also a workaround, can you please confirm if it works with Obtainium build? github.com/organicmaps/organic

@organicmaps I already tried installing as "Google Play Store", but it didn't work. This github already mentions, that you need to patch phenotype.db on android 11+ (i have 14), and for this patching root is required. Also last commit to it was 7 months ago, so pretty much outdated. And I think there are more people currently using OM on devices with android 11+, than on android 10-. I know not too many people use android auto, but there are many people depending on this functionality. And suddenly if they update with an apk file now, AA won't work anymore.

Tbh I don't know why it doesn't work when installing as play store, maybe there is some another workaround, but I tried many ways (except rooting and more advanced stuff) and nothing worked, and when installed from play store (aurora didn't work as well) it magically works. As in github issue I mentioned.
Here is another guy that couldn't make it work on android 14 (even with root, on custom ROM though): github.com/organicmaps/organic
They say there is some way when using magisk, but it again requires root.

@nictakiego it would be great to find a way to run AA easily without installing from Google Play

@organicmaps Yeah it would be, but google is a bitch. Their "waze" app works with AA regardless of installation method (even from apk file).
