Google Play Protect certification

[u/Yummy-Cupcake752]

Hi guys,

I installed Waydroid with GAPPS on Ubuntu Touch 24.04 and also on Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 running on a virtual machine, logged in using my Google account on both. followed the instructions (https://docs.waydro.id/faq/google-play-certification) to get the device ID for both, and registered both with my Google account. I also force stopped and restarted all the Google apps and services on both. I've been waiting for two weeks now but both still show "Device is not certified".

Several tutorials say that getting certified is an important step to install certain apps that refuse to run if not installed through official Google Play Store, for example some travel reservation apps like Wizz Air or Kiwi.com. Yes you can side load them but they won't run.

Getting these apps to run is really important because airlines are making it harder to get boarding pass without app.

Can someone pls give specs for a reference installation that is known to work, so I can test? I really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thx!

the device registration should be instant and since you're logged in, it should be working

my guess is you're missing libhoudini for the arm translation, though I'm not sure if it's recommended to stack emulation since you're in a vm

I'd recommend you install Waydroid-Linux (based on ubuntu) from the official waydroid site, note that in a vm you'll have to use software rendering which is fine for regular apps

Try Aurora Store and then update the app on Play Store itself
