Using apps with Google Play Store in-app-purchases with /e/

I’m talking about in-app-purchases, which do license checking at runtime.

I have no experience with this, but forum search says …

Purchased apps from Google Play Store

You can also install the modified Play Store by Lucky Patcher to bypass licence verification, if I remember well there is an option to only install Licence Bypassing Proxy without installing the Play Store.

Finally, I’ve tried downloading the opengapps pico installer, which I didn’t want because it includes actual play services, but it installed and I have a Play Store. But it doesn’t work, just shows “Error retrieving information from server”.

Installing the genuine Google services (via Open GApps) with microG being present doesn’t go well together.

As for the standalone install of the Play Store not working … It’s possible /e/ degoogled something the Play Store App still needs in Android apart from microG mimicking Google services.
If your in-app-purchases are important to you, I guess you would have more luck with LineageOS.
