[Q] What do I need running for Google Play?

I attempted to download an application from the google play site via my PC. I had to use google because the application is not on the Amazon store but have I used google play once before and it worked OK.
Having ordered the app and got confirmation I was surprised that the download did not appear on my phone.
I tried running google play store on the phone and it gave an error message that said it cannot connect.
I stopped the play store and google play services applications, cleared the data etc and tried again, even went back to system application by clearing updates but still not working.
Now the play application just starts and immediately stops when I tap it.
I have as much as possible of the toy applications disabled because I use this phone for business and I wonder if at some time over the past weeks I have disabled an application that the google play store application needs?
Other than google play store and google play services are there any other apps that should be running?
I have google play store running 1 process and 1 service and google play services running 2 processes and 2 services.
Amazon appstore works OK
Regards
Please ignore this, turns out I had logged out of googlemail and this stops playstore.

Not reciecing Google play store updates

Any ideas why I don't get notifications that there are updates available for my apps anymore? The setting to notify me is not but notifications has stopped coming through for about a week now. Running 4 1 3.
The only thing I can think of that has changed in that period is that I have removed the option for automatic shortcuts.

I second this problem. The last month play store does not auto update, unless i manually do it though the app. Of course play store settings are correct and i've tried wiping play store cache, but didn't solve the problem. My os is up to date

Google Play Services in Secure Folder is draining my battery

Google Play Services in Secure Folder is draining my battery. I need help because this is going to kill my battery. It started a few days ago but I didn't install anything new in Secure Folder for months. I also have a total of only 8 apps in Secure Folder. Both versions of Google Play Services are the same (19.4.19), yet the one in Secure Folder went nuts for some reason. I already cleared the cache and data. I also tried to uninstall updates but I got the error message: "Uninstalling Google Play Services unsuccessful." I also can't "Disable" it or "Force stop" it. What can I do?

Did something change wrt G Play-services that breaks Zygisk Denylist?

I am using Google Pixel 6 Pro and my Google Pay stopped working and my Magisk installation was removed, I have no idea what triggered this. After re-installing the canary version of Magisk I noticed the following when configuring my Denylist:
- Google Play-services is now only listed under "Show OS apps". I might be mistaken but before it was under "Show systemapps"?
- Google Play-services is no longer selected after a powercycle
Although safetynet test apps PASS, it is clearly NOT working:
- Can no longer find Netflix app in Google Play store (good indicator certification is not in order)
- Google Pay complains about root detection after adding my card
Appreciate any advise/tips/suggestions

Magisk disappearing is interesting and I don't know what happened there.
No need to add Play services or other system processes to DenyList. Only deny Play Store, Gpay etc. If you deny Play services it'll end up unticked after a reboot which is normal. After a new Magisk installation including safetynet-fix and Props Config modules, clear Play Store cache and storage in Settings/Apps (I do this for Play services too although it may not be necessary). After some brief wait time your Pixel should show as certified in Play Store settings in addition to passing Safetynet.

Everything is working now, I also re-installed the modules. I might have indeed denied to many services, thank you for clarifying only App Store itself and banking apps is sufficiënt! If I lose root again suddenly I will attach ADB logfiles.

If you have safetynetbfix flashed this is normal as it does it for you and unselects it. If you don't have saftey net fix flashed you can select it and it will stick

HELP. My pixel device cannot verify google play protect

Sorry everyone I use google translate to ask questions.
I have a pixel 4a 5g. It runs android 12. I wasn't happy with this version so I downgraded it with web flash.google.com
After downgrading to andorid 11, my device cannot install netflix via google play. I checked and found that my device cannot verify play protect. I have tried a few ways on the internet that I found but it doesn't work. Please help me fix this problem. Thank you.

If your Pixel device is unable to verify Google Play Protect. Google Play Protect is a built-in security feature in the Google Play Store app that helps to protect your device from potentially harmful apps. I put here some potential reasons why your device cannot verify Google Play Protect:
Outdated Google Play Store app: Make sure that your Google Play Store app is up to date. You can check for updates in the app by going to the "My apps & games" section in the menu.
Slow Internet connection: A slow or unstable internet connection can sometimes prevent Google Play Protect from verifying. Try connecting to a different network or improving your current connection.
Disabled Google Play Services: Make sure that Google Play Services is enabled on your device. You can check this in your device settings under "Apps & notifications" > "See all apps" > "Google Play Services".
The device is rooted: If your device is rooted, it may not be able to verify Google Play Protect. This is because rooting can sometimes compromise the security of your device.
Malware or virus: If your device has been infected with malware or a virus, it may prevent Google Play Protect from verifying. You can run a malware scan on your device using a reputable antivirus app.
I hope all goes well but if none of these solutions work for you then you will need to contact Google Support for further assistance.
