For my degoogled android, I am uninstalling bloatwares using adb. Now, I even decided to remove Play Store and use Aurora Store and Obtainium; but haven't touched Google Play Service.

Everything was running smoothly till I recently installed ChatGPT Android; but the app is not even starting, and shows the message you need Play Store or Update it.

Is their any way around for it.

I am considering microG but not aware how those tech work; also no intention for rooting my phone
