How come MicroG is listed as an app there? |
|
the Including the parameter shows a stripped down page with only end user instructions, and replaces the "your app" with that https://dontkillmyapp.com/sony?app=MicroG
https://dontkillmyapp.com/sony

For future reference, the old v1 api has a listing of all manufacturer names the site supports: Such as Nokia that ships devices with a |
|
In that case the name should be GmsCore or "MicroG GmsCore" |
|
But the app name on their device is "MicroG". The instructions will be wrong if it shows "MicroG GmsCore" because no such app exists. |

PS: it's DontKillMyApp, not DoNotKillMyApp in the PR title and code |

# [5.24.0-dev.2](v5.24.0-dev.1...v5.24.0-dev.2) (2025-05-14) ### Features * **GmsCore support:** Open vendor specific DontKillMyApp if available ([#4952](#4952)) ([b89927a](b89927a)) * **YouTube - Hide player components:** Hide related video overlay in fullscreen ([#4938](#4938)) ([ac9be97](ac9be97))
If GmsCore has been granted battery whitelist permission, but it's still not running in the background, then the user needs to follow manufacturer specific steps to allow GmsCore to run.
Normally this opens DontKillMyApp.com but it's full of extra information such as other vendors, a history of the problem per vendor, developer information, and other information that is irrelevant to the end user who just wants instructions how to fix the problem for their device.
Thankfully, DontKillMyApp.com has an api to check if a vendor specific page exists, and a url
appparameter to show only end user instructions for the app.For example, on Samsung devices the GmsCore dialog now opens:
https://dontkillmyapp.com/samsung?app=MicroG
On Sony devices it opens:
https://dontkillmyapp.com/sony?app=MicroG
And if no manufacturer specific page exists, then it open the general page that includes steps that work for (most) devices:
https://dontkillmyapp.com/general?app=MicroG
