Hi
After many studies and attempts I was able to literally install and activate Google Play Services within SailfishOS 4.6.0.11 running Android 11 for the XA2 Ultra 64 bits.
Below is the tutorial:
- Copy the Script below and rename it to install_gapps.sh

NOTE: Download Visual Studio Code and paste the text. After that, change the file from CRLT to LT (Windows recognizes the different format and with the change it changes it to Linux)
-
After saving, place the file in the Download folder on device
-
After finishing the script, open the website https://opengapps.org/ download the file
AMR64 - Android 11 - PEAK. -
For some unknown reason, a file is not in the GAPP folder called /opegapp…/Core/extservicesgoogle-all.tar.lz
Download and use WINRAR to place this file in the CORE folder.
https://mega.nz/file/20M3HIJJ#tam9A-NzN_pURHMQy5pbC8-ElpRQfvpbhAakvxthw8E -
After completing the copy of the extservicesgoogle-all.tar.lz file into the CORE folder, copy and paste Gapp to the Download folder on your device.
-
Open the terminal or use PUTTY to use the commands below:
devel-su
password
cd /home/defaultuser/Download
Assign usage permission to the install_gapp.sh file with the chmod +x install_gapps.sh command
Install 2 packages: rsync and unzip
pkcon install unzip
pkcon install rsync
- Enter the command: ./install_gapps.sh
Wait for the data to load, extract and copy the new files.
After completing, restart your device and configure your play store
Thanks to the user @nemishkor. I made some changes to make it work on the XA2Ultra.
