Pixel Camera App Crashes on De-Googled Android Over Font Dependency

The latest Pixel Camera update is crashing on de-Googled Android systems due to a new dependency on Google Play Services for a specific font. Analysts suggest the issue stems from the app’s call for Google Sans Flex, which is only available through Play Services. Users can temporarily fix the problem by rolling back to an earlier version of the app.

Pixel Camera App Fails on De-Googled Systems

The Pixel Camera app’s latest update is causing crashes on de-Googled Android operating systems, such as GrapheneOS, according to reports. Sources indicate that version 10.x of the app now requires Google Play Services to function, a change that has left users without these services unable to use the camera. The report states that without Play Services, the app either crashes or fails to start entirely.
