Critical requirement

: The ROM must be built against the same SDK version (25/API 27). A 7.1.2 ROM will not accept GApps built for Android 8.0+ (API 26+) or 7.0 (API 24). Mismatch leads to immediate boot loops or Setup Wizard crashes. open gapps android 7.1.2

legacy maintenance mode

Open GApps releases are built nightly from the official GApps packages found in Google’s factory images. However, as of 2025, Google no longer updates Android 7.1.2 factory images. The last official Google apps for Nougat date back to 2019–2020. Consequently, Open GApps for 7.1.2 entered around 2021. The builds are frozen; no new versions of Play Services or Play Store are integrated because Google stopped providing Nougat-compatible APKs in their system dumps.
