Do we know yet whether this will require Google Play Services and the like on Android? Or, worse, SafetyNet? I dream of using this on GrapheneOS without any Google stuff.


I'd be surprised if it did, there's no technical reason to require those. Also, SafetyNet is deprecated in favor of Play Integrity, so you're not likely to see the former in any new apps/services.

That has never stopped Google from requiring Play Services.


All of the code for this (including AWDL, at least to an extent) is implemented as part of Play Services, unfortunately.


QuickShare already requires Google Play Services, so I don't think that will change
