What Is MicroG / GmsCore?

MicroG (now called GmsCore in the ReVanced ecosystem) is a lightweight, open-source implementation of Google's proprietary framework APIs. It enables Google account features — sign-in, notifications, and sync — in apps that are installed outside Google Play without requiring root access or full Google Play Services.
