I get that they don’t want to deal with Google Play

Was that the reason? Shame they didn’t just leave it on F-Droid and GitHub then. Nobody needs to use Google Play (at least not yet…)

Thanks for the info. I have not really tested Seedvault myself so this is all good to know.

Ironically, one of the main reasons I switched to GrapheneOS was because Google’s backups were so frustrating and I was hoping Seedvault would be more comprehensive.

What’s wrong with Seedvault?
