Remove dependance on google play services
Protonmail android app is dependent on google play services and that is obviously against privacy and security.
Users who removed/disable google play services or used vanilla "lineageos" without gapps cannot get the mail client work properly.
Google play services collect every possible piece of info about the user; location, body sensors, application usage, and every other possible thing. So telling the use to enable/install google services you compromise his privacy and security by 3rd party app which is clearly against the idea if Protomail.
I hope you can correct this and have no dependence on google at all.

I for one do not understand why protonmail which for so long has given us a haven from GOOGLE wants to now use google services for the bridge. In a way we feel that protonmail is turning its back on us who want to be free of google intrustion.
Did protonmail sell us out for more money and is google the reason for these new options like the 'bridge' with other mail services that are NOT as secure? I mean outlook and Gmail are not secure as protonmail is claiming to be.
I feel very disappointed and may as well give up my protonmail account if you are working hand in hand or have sold out to google.
I mean why does GOOGLE have to have EVERY SINGLE DARN THING on the net and we have NO place where we can't keep our data to ourselves?
A lot of protonmail users , not only myself feel betrayed and let down. Protonmail needs to make a statement we can understand. IF you are working with google then that means somehow , someway they are getting our data, there is no working with google where they dont get a piece of the people who are your customers.
Speak up protonmail we deserve to know.
What is even more shameful now is that I cant leave a message like this without even SIGNING IN to google?
PM isn't secure anymore.

I left Gmail and would like to further on by leaving all Google products. But I still have these obligations to use Google play whenever I want to download your app, or google captcha which doesn't work with VPN (increasingly difficult) - and yet your answer is "Its like this" How do you reconcile your approach to full secured email app to full support to Google (cloud, play, captcha, analytics). And when are you actually following the core changes Google is making in tightening the control over data? It's happening now. Why do I see Facebook and Google as the two primary choices to register for this FAQ?!

Hello, is there any development regarding this topic? I see this as absolutely crucial feature! The solutions to avoid Google Cloud Messaging Service (FCM / GCM) are already there (see below).

For those who do not gave a Google-based Android OS (LineageOS, GrapheneOS) who wish to have push notifications, would like to see native push notifications outside Google Play Services, Google Cloud, ect. and have the push notification system become fully independent of Google Play services, please.

It bothers me a lot that - although protonmail said they'd develop that years ago - NOTHING happened!
Hidden agenda? -

I have moved my business and personal emails to Protonmail because of their support for privacy. I'm beginning to think this was a mistake because of their dependence on google services (and seemingly their lack of interest in improving their existing products). Please implement proper android notifications without dependence on google services. If the company actually cares, here is a blurb on how to properly implement notifications on android https://grapheneos.org/faq#notifications

That defeats the whole purpose of privacy. Plenty of apps work fine without Google Play Services.

As a professional account user thinking about getting my family on the service, I am very disappointed that there is no option to at least poll for new emails every X minutes.
I have LineageOS on my phone, and therefore have NO way of knowing when I have new mail unless I manually check. Ridiculous.
