I'm not entirely sure if all of microG needs to run as root, but I'm pretty sure that some parts do. Nonetheless, microG runs in the
priv_app
SELinux domain instead ofuntrusted_app
, reducing the isolation and granting it more access to sensitive APIs. Sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS on the other hand is a normal application that can be installed and uninstalled by the user, running in theuntrusted_app
domain. It is tightly controlled by the Android permission mechanism, and doesn't have any permissions by default.
