Default It looks like Google just locked out GrapheneOS users from the Pixel Camera

TL;DR
  • The new Pixel Camera 10.x update now requires Google Play Services, reportedly causing crashes on GrapheneOS and other de-Googled systems.
  • Users can fix this by rolling back to version 9.9.106.773153235.19 of the app.
  • Users on Reddit point out that if you’re running a sandboxed Google Play Store and Play Services on your Pixel with GrapheneOS, you’ll still be able to use the latest version of the Pixel Camera app.

Google’s latest Pixel Camera update (version 10.x) apparently doesn’t play nice with privacy-focused operating systems. According to a report from Kuketz Blog, the new Pixel Camera app now has a hard dependency on Google Play Services. That means if you’re using GrapheneOS or another de-Googled system, the app will probably crash or fail to launch entirely.
