Gcam crashes when installed from APKS (APK Bundle)

Describe the bug See steps to reproduce. I do not have Google Photos installed and have installed the 1.3 “photos” version of the APK.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Gcam-Services-Provider 1.3 “photos” version from Releases page using normal method (without --force-queryable)
2. Install Google Camera from Aurora Store (with correct device Pixel 3 selected in device spoofing)
3. Launch Google Camera - works after accepting permissions
4. Go to home screen and reopen app - this works
5. Close Google Camera from recent apps list and launch again - crashes 😞
6. Device reboot does not work, you need to clear the Google Camera app data

Expected behavior Does not crash on subsequent launches.

Thanks for testing. It might also be related to APK Bundles.

I’m currently running version 8.2.300 (that version is available at APKMirror as APK).

I just tried installing the same version from APKMirror, and used SAI to install the bundle…

Got exactly the same issue. Does this mean I have to find an unsecure redistribution of a standard APK for it to work? Has anyone managed to get the official APKS to run?

You can extract Gcam from the images Google provides - they always work for me (see https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider/discussions/17#discussioncomment-227518 for details).
