com.google.android.gms.policy_sidecar_aps

Advanced Google
Description

Not sure what purpose it has, but it gets some network and phone data and connects to some Google domains, but never on its own; it has no permissions and never runs on its own, it likely exists as a helper package for other Google services. Doesn't seem to exist in newer versions of Android; it's not in Android 11, but it is in 9. Needs a Google Account and Google Play Services to work. Given its name it could be related to Android auto? Seems safe to remove, noticed no breakage (didn't test Android Auto tho). https://beta.pithus.org/report/60835b97f38d9e64d4f554a73dab71c892153486a8e0fd81461c3d85359d9fae
