Can Apps Share Data Back n Forth on GrapheneOS? (lemm.ee)

Say I have Google Camera installed with network permissions revoked. Say I also install Play Services which does have network access. Would Google Camera be able to share data about my pictures to Play Services which would then phone home to Google?

There is an app called Obtainium. This allows downloading signed apps directly from source

Thanks!

For that to work you need to know the app exists first. I also like to look at F-droids anti feature list.

Me too, but good to know I can check that at F-Droid and then fetch from source if I want. Best of both.
