Drop Google Play services dependency for the HubSpot Android app

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently installed the HubSpot app on my Android device; I tried to login to HubSpot through said app and could not because of the dependency on Google Play services.
See image below:

Utilizing such framework from Google puts the client relationship privelege of HubSpot users at risk by the very nature of Google's privacy-siphoning practices. Also, it is not necessary (if the coding is done correctly) to have a secure and functional app. There are many, many Android apps that don't rely on Google Play services. 

At the very least, you could create a separate downloadable APK available directly from your website for users such as myself. Again, there are numerous other companies that offer such alternative distribution of their apps with securely signed keys, fingerprinting, etc..

Kind regards,

D~C

Perhaps Google Play doesn't actually have HubSpot. I haven't seen this app there. Maybe I'm just used to downloading it or reinstalling it using the installation file that I download in the browser. In the browser, you can't check the file for malware, which is why such incidents happen. Perhaps someone is already using all your email data. I'd now be wary of registering on websites using this email if I were you. Try to earn more google play points to download the HubSpot app with the full version and paid content. Tell me if you succeeded. I'll also try to find HubSpot in the Play Market. Thanks.

I believe there might be a confusion. The keyword you provided is "Insta Pro," which typically refers to an Instagram-related term. However, your question is about the HubSpot app and its dependency on Google Play services. If you have any inquiries related to HubSpot or Google Play services, I'd be happy to help. Please clarify your question, and I'll provide the information you're looking for.
