[Discussion] Google Pay Magisk Discussion Thread

[QuietMountains]

The GPay app technically can launch but when asked to set up contactless Google Play Service launches then crashes. I've cleared Play services data several times now
Magisk is version 24.3. I have Zygisk enabled with the deny list enabled. The GPay SQlite fix module, MagiskHide Props Config, and Universal SafetyNet Fix. Google Play Store says my device is verified as well as YASNAC
Tried out that working solution and that didn't change anything. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to emulate Android Pie variables just to make Google Pay and Android Pay to work without Gapps? Let say Android 11 with all the Magisk fixes but the Pay app is in a container for Android 9 where the fixes work without Gapps?

Very short answer: No

Cant say ive ever had GPay just crash when trying to set up a card, it will usually give an error if anything

Do you only Deny Google Pay, NOT every Google app/service as some people mistakenly do thinking it will "solve everything"...it can break stuff

Have you tried the most common fix:

Clear Play Store & Play Store Services Data & Check Play Store Certification

• Toggle Airplane Mode on
• Clear data and cache of:
  • Google Play
  • Google Play Services
  • Google Pay (note: may/will remove any cards previously entered)
• Usually this will be achieved by (exact steps and terminology may change per device or ROM):
  • Opening Settings
  • Going to Apps, choosing Show All Apps
  • Enabling Show System Apps via a menu option
  • Locating the app, tapping it and then finding Storage/Cache
  • Tapping Clear Data
• Reboot
• Toggle Airplane Mode off
• Open Google Play Store, wait 5 minutes, go to Settings and check Certification at bottom, it may take some time for "Certified" to appear, but as long as its not "Not Certified", and just showing version info, you are good to go

You might also consider trying Shamiko, link here with the Deny List NOT enforced (Shamiko requires this) and only enable Deny List for Google Pay, as far as Pay stuff goes

Very short answer: No

Even if I install v1.0 for both apps, it doesn't work. Is it the OS fault for this? Or should we just emulate IDK, Garmin and Fitbit pay in the phone?

Anybody finding that there GPay isnt working any more? Pixel 6 Pro here...
I am unable to keep Google Play Services added to the Denylist. But Google Pay and Google Store do stay.

Play Services is by design not able to be added if using KDragons Universal SafetyNet Module i think from memory (not sure if Magisk does this now by default either), this is by design

Modules i use:

Universal SafetyNet
Shamiko (turn off Enforce Deny List when using this)

Google Pay is the only Google app in my Deny List - (i dont even have Play Store on the Deny List)

Google Pay works fine, you have other issues.

Why do you say it doesnt work, what happens? error messages?

Do you pass SafetyNet? ...dont forget to hide the magisk app. If you do, then try the steps in my last post, 3 posts above here....aka the *almost* universal fix for GPay issues.....


All things new Magisk and passing SafetyNet, including downloads of modules mentioned are here:

@73sydney - Thanks for this - Managed to get it sorted, but I may need to default my phone again with the May firmware release.
I have a few bugs which are linked to the backup the device is pulling from Google1. Items like my lockscreen not always appearing correctly etc
GPay is another one of those, but thanks for the suggestion anyway

FYI, I had a problem - all of a sudden yesterday - with Google Pay on my OnePlus 9 Pro. Tried everything I could, even installing older versions of the apk, no luck for 3 hours. Google Pay kept showing something like "Checking for updates, this may take a few minutes".

Finally, turns out it's the latest version of Google Play Services (I was naive enough to opt in the beta testing program).

If you come across something like that, what worked for me was uninstalling Google Play Services updates, opting out of beta program, then re-applying the usual Google Pay process, and I was good to go.

didnt even know there WAS a beta program for core google services...i wouldnt have been signing up for that

thanks for the heads up and sharing the info for the benefit of others!

fwiw its been a long while since a specific version of Google Pay itself caused any dramas...

I too, was naive enough to opt in the beta testing program - and have since dropped it like it was hot.

The last 2 versions of Google Pay gave us prolonged hard times (months) in trying to add and auto-top-up the Myki public transport card in Melbourne, until they finally resolved it. Of course that's not a global scale problem, but yeah the APKs have been problematic for some.

no such problem with Opal in Sydney

Lived there for years and can confirm the statement, however you can't add Opal to GPay unlike Myki.

Either way, minor things really when any form of tap-to-pay works fine.

Just tapped on Opal terminal w/ GPay this morning! - don't need to (probably can't as you say) add Opal to GPay but.

I do have the card I associated with GPay added in Opal Travel app, so see trips both in 'Opal activity' and 'Contactless payment activity'... PW

Yes, that's exactly what I used to do in Sydney. Having Myki on Google Pay is probably the alternative for not being able to tap-and-pay in Melbourne (or I could be wrong).

Glad we have an electronic option regardless.

Just what we need, you cashed up and moving about Sydney

Ive never been able to even top up from within the app (i use firefox and the webpage )...i just assumed it had some way to detect root i wasnt aware of

If i hit top up it just cycles right back to the main screen....

Also cant add to billing information

So guessing its a root issue, i have it in deny list and HMA as well...

You can do it - and auto top-up too - from the app. Just click the gear icon on the card, then configure it. I didn't have to manually top-up in years.

Or maybe a fresh start, remove and reinstall, then Opal in Deny List and that's it, worked like a charm.

Which reminds me, I have $20 stuck in there with no use since I moved

I know how to do all that stuff, but doesnt work for me, cycles back to the menu you launch the option from
