It is possible to create Google accounts without phone number on Android. I can confirm.
I tried on an Android VM in a browser, but stopped at the phone number requirement. So does it need to be in a Google app specifically?
It needs to be a real android not a VM or emulator. Google will detect the device through play services. you can easily create 4-5 accounts without the numbers.
Ive been able to create two on grapheneOS when opening up play store in separate profiles and clicking create account on the log in screen
Any idea on android version restrictions?
