So this is a feature I enabled in Sync by default but you can disable it here:
Settings shortcut: General > Show a reminder to update when available
This is a feature the app developer has built-in/opted into. There probably isn't anything you can do to disable it.
That's what I suspected. Fucking infuriating.
Hello @ljdawson@lemmy.world, perhaps you could help this user?
Just update?

That doesn't work unfortunately.
Use Aurora store instead of Google Play? At least my apps never get popups like these.
I actually even downloaded an apk from apkmirror so it's not linked to Google Play Store and it still pops up.
I see. So it's probably because I don't have Google Play Store in the first place. Maybe it can be configured somehow. No idea
This doesn't fix your problem but what I believe you are seeing is something asking you to update Google Play Services , this isn't related to the Play Store.
GPS contains libraries and other things apps need to function.
An oversimplification would be that it is an analog to Android System Webview which enables web browsing in most apps not based on Firefox.
Maybe. Go into Play Store store settings(android app settings) -> open by default and turn off open supported links. Not sure it'll work for you but give it a try
Edit: clarifications
Why did you blur sync for lemmy?
Reject android. Embrace GrapheneOS and FOSS.
Gladly, as soon as they support my phone (Galaxy S20 Ultra). In the meantime, do you have a solution to the posted problem?
Strictly speaking, that is a solution. Fair point though, I forgot it had limited support. Still, there are other alternative OS out there you could look for.
edit: I guess fuck me for having a fallible human memory, sorry everyone i learned my lesson i'll never mention alternative os ever again. also how is the "foss" part being ignored. fdroid? alternative stores? degoogle? hello?
my bad, thought i was on lemmy.
