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 hope this has moved up on the priority schedule. With both Apple and Google ramping up plans for "tracing covid", I think now more than ever privacy and tracking should be at the forefront. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/4/10/21216675/apple-google-covid-coronavirus-contact-tracing-app

"Currently" is not a valid response. Re-open this, provide the feature, or state that it will never happen. Stating that it is currently not an option does not merit a "Completed" tag. Other privacy respecting applications(1) allow for GCS-free notifications, WHY(would also be a valid response) can't Protonmail?
(1): Riot comes to mind, as does Nextcloud, Feeder, DAVx, AndStatus... All of these are open source too, get some code ideas from them, and implement that.

Would love to see this also. Tutanota has notifications working without Google, PM needs to do the same. I really don't want to switch email for such a simple feature as having working notifications for those of us that really choose privacy by refusing google services. For now, I have to leave my home computer on all the time to receive emails in a desktop client that then forwards all my emails to Tutanota so that I get notifications on my phone! But PM is my main email, only using Tuta for this purpose. Could happily turn off my computer and delete Tuta if this was fixed.

How to Solve Canon Pixma Printer Error Code B200
The most common solution we hear is to turn off the printer and let it cool down for a few minutes. It might be caused by some foreign debris inside the rollers or due to paper jam to it has to be removed.

I think that would be an important step to live up to the principles of ProtonMail. I will not use it when I have to dwonload it from the googleplay Store. But it would also be enough to download the APK directly from ProtonMail

Add alternative downloads, we need to check app details for security , impossible only one store ! google have to much malware apps and they never keep privacy, because they selling everything. Minimum is 2 ways(downloads) and details(date, filesize, MD5, ....) on your website.
Google is the last in the row....i never get some money, for spying, from them!!!! -

First, try restarting your computer, printer and wireless router. To check if your printer is connected to your network: Print a Wireless Network Test report from the Epson Printer Setup Support. On many printers pressing the Wireless button allows direct access to printing this report.
