Sandboxed Google Play: Apps -> Google Play services -> Install

Tips and Tricks🔗
Banking and Financial Apps🔗
These apps often have many "safety" checks in place to insure app integrity. If apps are crashing on launch, the following tips may help:
- Enable native code debugging:
Settings->Security->Enable native code debugging - Exploit protection compatibility mode:
Settings->Apps->[my app]->Advanced->Exploit protection compatibility mode - Install app from official Google Playstore. Apps can check where they were installed from (i.e. AuroraOSS), and not launch.
