Hello! I was looking on https://plexus.techlore.tech for my most used apps to understand what I'd miss if I degoogled my smartphone, and surprising Satispay seems to be completely unusable without play services or microG. It is very counter intuitive for me, as it has nothing to do with google. Any idea?

I installed their store in a VM (they freely allow install on any device), then I extract the apps

IMHO they should have named it like "petal store", because anyway it's not operated by Huawei itself but by an European entity sockpuppet and then they might had some extra downloads from other devices

and how do you update? you have to manually check in the VM if a new version is available?

perhaps I found a better solution: Obtainium
It is completely FOSS, and allows to add apps from a multitude of sources, including Huawei's AppStore. Just find the app you want to install in AppGallery's website, copy the link (e.g.: https://appgallery.huawei.com/app/C102933829) and paste it into Obtainium. It will download and install the app, and check for updates periodically, notifying you to update. Seems promising!
