Can /e/OS run GApps without issues?

You can use Google apps, like Maps, if you sign into MicroG which is located in the settings, with your Google account. Then go to /e/ App lounge and install Google maps. Google maps will run fine. YouTube and others as well. With Aurora store you will have to sign in with your Google account if you are saving your personal map data. This will also give you access to your paid apps. You also have to be sure you are signed into MicroG as well. Again, apps will work.

You can install and use maps without signing in with your Google account in either microG or Aurora Store. I installed Google Maps from Aurora Store using the usual anonymous login, and I don’t need to save my journeys so I just run the app. It displays a notification saying Maps won’t run unless you update Google Play Services, but you can ignore / dismiss it: the app works fine anyway

And I require my banking apps working, I’m not sure if /e/OS could cause problems.

Some bank apps work fine with microG, others will refuse to install or run because you are not running your phone’s stock OS. Check this thread for more information about which apps do or do not work. Many /e/OS users find that accessing their bank’s internet banking in a web browser works well enough, even if their bank’s app won’t run
