Hi! What would be the best way to limit play serbices to only selected apps. I still need notifications to work from them, but would like to be sure that google can't access anything else

If I'm understanding correctly, this sounds just about exactly how GrapheneOS works by default. All GPlay apps work and have notifications, but are sandboxed.

Except for wallet iirc

Yes, because the Google Wallet app requires a higher level of SafetyNet attestation, which can only be achieved when running an OS that's specifically whitelisted by Google.
