not possible, their server side connects to the google server side which expects to connect to some google/microg component on your device.

Do you have any plans of allowing opt-in location access to Microg so that UnifiedNLP works?

Hey! There is another LOS-based rom that implements sandboxed google play from GOS called VoltageOS. Maybe it would be handy to fork that instead of writing your own patch?
And thanks for implementing microG this way, love that feature and LOS-based systems in general. It’s the reason I switched from AOSP-based GOS almost without any customization to DOS, but I miss Sandboxed Google Play. Miss being able to set my purchased apps to my work profile the proper way with working license check

I have no intention porting Sandboxed Play. It isn’t just the initial port, but the ongoing maintenance of it (look at their changelogs).
The primary reason for unprivileged microG is its sheer simplicity which allowed me to port it to Android 9 through 13.
