Google Play

I’m not really sure what the point of this video is, but I guess just be generous. be kind to people, because you never know how much they might need it, or how far it’ll go.

goals

1. Pixel 6 (2021)
2. Android 12 (2021)
3. Google Play 29 (2022)

non goals:

email/password login. up to Android 4.4 (2013), the login is protected with TLS fingerprinting, which is difficult but possible to bypass. since Android 5 (2014), Google uses bot-guard via JavaScript to protect the login. I do not know how to reverse that, and I did not find any implementations online.
