Do not really understand how Android sandboxing works for system apps.

    Edit: guys, check comments in this tree below. there is solution to use gapps privately with permissions revoking through shizuku and it actually works, checked myself :D

    Seems like it is true information but GServices have another way to bypass permission. Check this comment

        The problem is that GServices can’t work without these permissions, they crash. So the phone becomes mostly pointless.

            sorry, what’s the way to do it? manually editing config files? or some app? App Manager from GitHub f.e. can’t do it.

                    But I’m wondering if gapps doesn’t make any changes to the system itself, maybe it creates new users to bypass broken permissions).

                    Nothing happened, permission resets itself and in AppOps, the camera just worked fine :)

                    Yes. I didn’t disable the internet for services, SafetyNet goes through without a problem. Thank you for this information, it is invaluable to me. Now I will be able to use GApps again instead of microG without losing functionality and staying private ❤️
