On that note, what does update.googleapis.com do? Is this necessary for app updates via Aurora Store?
In iodé app this shows with the (blue) ‘Chromium’ icon curiously (even though Chromium isn’t installed on my device AFAIK) and is listed under the Android System WebView app, which itself sometimes isn’t obvious in the iodé app (see comment below on UI). e.g. I could only find it occasionally via the desktop applet, it’s one of numerous apps it occasionally displays as not having ‘Reinforced’ blocking even though it is reinforced when you look in the normal app.
Anyway I have all 3 of Wi-Fi, Mobile Data and VPN locked down for this app, yet still it’s reaching out to that url above regularly (every few hours)?
P.S. On a different note on the UI side one issue with the iodé app is the layout and design for displaying app names, these are often heavily truncated on some screens so sometimes its not easy to identify an app or see it’s full name initially. You can usually see it once you dig into it (as it will be displayed ion a second location on screen in smaller text), but can be confusing if multiple apps or processes start with the same 1-2 words and have long names.
