# Google Play Certification

When launching waydroid with GAPPS for the first time you will be notified that the device is not certified for **Google Play Protect**. You can follow the instructions on screen to self certify your device, or here's a shortcut:

* Open a Terminal
* Run the following command:

```sh
sudo waydroid shell -- sh -c "sqlite3 /data/data/*/*/gservices.db 'select value from main where name = \"android_id\";'"
```

* Use the string of numbers printed by the command to register the device on your Google Account at <https://www.google.com/android/uncertified>
* Give the Google services some minutes to reflect the change, then restart waydroid with:

```sh
waydroid session stop
```
