Android Auto stub missing from GSI

Hi,

I have successfully installed the iode-5.24-20260504 GSI on my Unihertz Jelly Star. Most things are working fine, which is great. However, when I tried to follow the Android Auto setup instructions, Android Auto was not listed as a pre-installed app. I did install it from the Aurora Store, as well as the required stubs, but it still won’t connect to my car (2019 Mazda 3).

Does the fact that it was not listed as a pre-installed app mean that it doesn’t have the system-level permissions it needs? Is there a way to fix this? Will I have to wait until there’s an iode 6 GSI?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Kevin
