How can I run apps without Play Store (self.degoogle)

For my degoogled android, I am uninstalling bloatwares using adb. Now, I even decided to remove Play Store and use Aurora Store and Obtainium; but haven't touched Google Play Service.

Everything was running smoothly till I recently installed ChatGPT Android; but the app is not even starting, and shows the message you need Play Store or Update it.

Is their any way around for it.

I am considering microG but not aware how those tech work; also no intention for rooting my phone

A doubt arised, does both profile need to have same app version or signatures.

I want to use a single app in both profile, but one is modded version in work profile. Because a message appears when installing that sort of says, "another user has installed the same app but its different".

I think they're complete separate, so I believe it would work. You can Clone apps in the Insular manager, so that makes me think it's not an issue.

sadly no, they aren't working.
