Extra points for figuring out how to do it with LuckyPatcher.
Does that even work for any slightly modern app? I've recently tried and failed miserably
Yeah, it works with less and less apps. The custom patches are good though, but they require you to have THE EXACT SAME version that the author had 😒. It's noted, but hard to obtain most of the time (usually, a few versions behind the lastes available).
It's 50/50, either you succeed or you fail, can go two ways.
Jokes aside, it doesn't hurt to try. (In my case I use it as a last resort when I'm about to abandon an app cuz of the cash-grabby-ness)
Came here to say this
14 year old me when closings norton family with task manager:
Adults after figuring out how to download modded IPhone packages
Can they teach me how to remove the license check from an app? I don't want it for free, I paid for it and would gladly pay another 50 times, rather I want to get rid of the google play framework altogether and it's the only irreplaceable app that doesn't work on microG :(
It's a bit of a hit or miss, but you can try using "lucky patcher". Just make sure your data is backed up as it has to reinstall (unless you have a rooted phone) and it might fail (there's quite a few combinations of parameters you can try so if one doesn't work, try a few others).
It gets flagged by Google as malware ofcourse, but afaik it isn't.
In my limited experience, it's really a hit or miss but it doesn't hurt to try. More 'extreme' patches can crash the app on start, and there are ways to check the app's integrity that app developers can add (and then there's ways to get around them, and then there's checks to block that, etc)
