Cape supports GrapheneOS. In order to activate Cape service on a GrapheneOS device, there are several settings you need to enable.

Steps to Complete Before Downloading the Cape App and Activating Service

Enable eSIM Management

1. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → eSIM Support.

2. Toggle on eSIM Support. This setting persists across device restarts. This may require you to restart your device.

3. By enabling this toggle, proprietary Google functionality for provisioning and managing eSIMs is activated.

Note: If the eSIM installation process stalls despite a stable internet connection:

• Dial *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app to access the testing menu.

• Select Phone Information → Check Enable DSDS.

Getting the Cape App on your GrapheneOS Device

Enable Sandboxed Google Play Services and Download the Play Store

1. Go to App Store → Search for Google Play Services → Tap Install.

2. Installing Google Play Services will also install the sandboxed Google Play Store. This will also automatically install additional dependencies such as GMSCompatConfig.

Enable Notifications for Google Play Services

1. Go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Services → Notifications.

2. Toggle on All Notifications to ensure proper functionality. If you do not enable notifications, you may not be able to interact with a prompt that gives permission to the device to download an eSIM.

Alternatively, Cape is available in the Aurora App Store

1. Download and install the Aurora App store on your device

2. Search the Aurora App store for Cape and download the Cape App

Please note: We do not officially support the Aurora Store and are unable to provide support if you have issues downloading from Aurora. Our app listing in the Aurora store is a clone of our official Google Play listing. 

You can now download the Cape app from the Play Store or the Aurora Store and activate your Cape service.
