OnePlus 3: MicroG doesn't have exposure notification api?

  • /e/ version: build 0.12-q-2020111083843-dev-oneplus3
  • Device model(s): OnePlus 3

Summary

The MicroG version included in the OnePlus 3 build doesn't seem to include the exposure notification api.

The problem

Steps to reproduce Install the build mentioned above, install a Covid 19 App.

What is the current behavior? The Covid 19 App will throw an error. In MicroG there is no menu for Exposure Notifications. Although the installed MicroG version is 0.2.12.203915, which should include the notification, it does not. The version name ends with "noen", I assume this means "no exposure notifications"?

What is the expected correct behavior?

Exposure Notifications can be enabled in MicroG

Solutions

Workaround Installing another version of MicroG via an app store is not possible, probably because MicroG is installed as a system app. This guide can probably used to update the app, haven't tried it though: https://community.e.foundation/t/how-to-install-unreleased-version-of-microg-gmscore/6491/2

Possible fixes

Include a MicroG build with Exposure notifications togglable in the next /e/ OnePlus3 build.
