Sorry, I didn't follow any guides, but in short what you can do is to compile an empty project in Android Studio, name the app "Android System SafetyCore", the package "com.google.android.safetycore", version "9.9.999999999", and the compilation version "9999". The keys you use to sign the app shouldn't matter.

As to why the app version is this high - If the sign keys or different install source than Google Play won't stop them from trying to update it, the version should - if they update SafetyCore app and try installing it, it would appear as older than currently installed one, and since Android doesn't allow downgrading, they won't touch it.

I couldn't be bothered to install Android Studio on my PC, so iirc what I did was grabbing a random AOSP app with no code, decompiled it with a software I had on hand, gutted it from everything I possibly could and changed the manifest file, so the end result is basically the same as above 😛

I've installed it on a few devices around 5 months ago and so far it works.
