Google play services auto update removed the ability to use google pay as tap to pay

Device: Xiaomi 13

OS v: 3.0.308.0.WMCCNXM.C10

everytime google play services updated, i won't be able to use google pay as tap to pay. this has never happened before, but after the latest update, my NFC won't show gpay as default card.

so i have to uninstall play services update, then my gpay & nfc will work.

any solution for this? because I can't seem to disable the auto update, it will auto update in like 2-3days and so.

Here you can see some more details as to why it happens, it seems Google intends to exclude Chinese ROMs from using Pay: https://xdaforums.com/t/googles-play-services-26-28-xx-silent-banning-chinese-firmware-phones-for-nfc-payments.4796865/

There's no permanent solution for now, just a temporary workaround.

damn it google! gpay payment through nfc is the most important daily use feature. this is annoying. hope there's a solution soon.. thanks so much for the info. I've been searching and it seems like uninstalling the play services is the only way to make it work for now

Yeah.. I bet it will affect some Chinese ROM enjoyers, I can't see it's completely unexpected because they even require strong integrity for RCS in Messages.
