Lyft disabled scheduling rides through ride.lyft.com, I used that quite a bit but now in forced go use the app. The problem however, is that their app just doesn’t work. It launches, says the Google API is necessary and then continues to close.

Does anyone know of an app that use their API that doesn’t shut itself down without installing Google SDK?

    Slightly related but I hope uber doesn’t do this… personally I’m trying to reduce my dependence on rideshare services but sometimes 💩 happens

    I didn’t find such an app when I briefly looked for one a while back. However, LineageOS with microG and a separate user profile might keep the official app confined enough for comfort.

      I might end up reinstalling lineageos with micro-g, yeah. Will use uber web for now (assuming it’ll work)

    GrapheneOS can usually operate with all those service-type apps apparently

    Edit: also banking apps, which are pretty standard in terms of their TPM-need

      Is that because there’s a micro-g-like sdk installed to make it work? Or something else?

      My phone fortunately is still very much functional.

    I don’t know about Lyft apps, but Uber still lets you use the browser.
