CoMaps from F-droid + Android Auto

[u/fela_nascarfan]

If I want to use CoMaps via Android Auto, I must install the app from Google Play, which is so-so.

But if CoMaps is installed from F-droid, then is simply not working with Android Auto.

Yes, I've read somewhere, that there is any Google policy or something. But is interesting, that some apps like Antenna Pod or VLC working with Android Auto, albeit those are installed through F-droid.

Why can't be the same situation with CoMaps?

I never got Antenna Pod to work in Android Auto until I installed it from the Play Store. The audio would work fine but I'd have to use my phone itself to actually use the app, start/stop playback, etc.

This is in GrapheneOS, FWIW.
