I went on the GrapheneOS forum and searched 'showcase': https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14984-is-grapheneos-an-answer-to-recent-wired-headline-about-showcaseapk But I could have told you the answer anyway - GOS builds from Google's sources, so they don't include closed source apps like this. If you choose to install Google Play then that's closed source, but they carefully vet what gets installed. GrapheneOS also have an official statement which debunks the whole story: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14993-debunking-fake-stock-pixel-os-vulnerability-from-an-edr-company Theo
