Warning about missing Google Play Services

When launching the Android App on GrapheneOS, a popup displays that
> "Prusa won't run without Google Play Services, which are not supported by your device."

The app appears to launch fine otherwise, but this message risks loosing some users at that stage.
This requirement also contradicts values of open-source and privacy that seemed dear to Prusa.

Can it be removed ?

RE: Warning about missing Google Play Services

Hello.
The current version of the application requires Google Play Services for a few important reasons, like notification service, and also for investigating and debugging issues to provide better feedback, faster customer support, and much faster improvements to the app.Our goal is, of course, to ensure maximum privacy and freedom for our customers, and we do not exclude the development of an application independent of third-party services. However, at this stage, we are focusing on the quality and stability of the version that will reach the most users.
