Android 14 introduced issues causing app crashes within secondary users as part of a series of changes fixing data leaks between user profiles. GrapheneOS users make heavier use of secondary users and are running into this more often. The most common issue can be worked around.

If you're experiencing crashes with sandboxed Google Play in a secondary user since Android 14, it's likely because you granted Location permission to Play services. Android 14 broke one of the APIs it uses for secondary users. Revoke Location permission and it won't happen.

You don't need to grant the Location permission to sandboxed Google Play to have working geolocation in apps using the Google Play geolocation API. By default, GrapheneOS reroutes Play location requests to the OS location service. If you disabled that, turn it back on for now.

We're aware some users want to use the Google Play network location service with sandboxed Google Play and it's meant to work. It still works in the Owner user but Android 14 broke one of the APIs it uses for all apps in secondary users. We'll try to fix it for our next release.
