App Store is the client for the GrapheneOS app repository. It's included in GrapheneOS but can also be used on other Android 12+ operating systems. Our app repository currently provides our standalone apps, out-of-band updates to certain GrapheneOS components and a mirror of the core Google Play apps and Android Auto to make it easy for GrapheneOS users to install [sandboxed Google Play](https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play) with versions of the Google Play apps we've tested with our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer.
**GrapheneOS users must obtain GrapheneOS app updates through our App Store since verified boot metadata is required for out-of-band system app updates on GrapheneOS as part of extending verified boot to them.**
