laf0rge/OpenEUICC-SGP.26: eSIM LPA (Local Profile Assistant) implementation for Android. System privilege or ARA-M allowlisting required. EXTENDED TO ACCEPT GSMA SGP.26 TEST ROOT CERTFIFICATE. - Angry.Im Software Forge

A: No. If you are a custom ROM developer, either include the entire OpenEUICC repository in your AOSP source tree, or generate an APK using gradle and import that as a prebuilt system app. Note that you might want privapp_whitelist_im.angry.openeuicc.xml as well.

Q: AOSP's Settings app seems to be confused by OpenEUICC (for example, disabling / enabling profiles from the Networks page do not work properly)

A: When your device has internal eSIM chip(s) and you have inserted a removable eSIM chip, the Settings app can misbehave since it was never designed for this scenario. Please prefer using OpenEUICC's own management interface whenever possible. In the future, there might be an option to exclude removable SIMs from being reported to the Android system.

A: No, even though the name "removable embedded SIM" can sound like an oxymoron. In fact, there can be many advantages to these chips compared to fully embedded ones. For example, the ability to transfer eSIM profiles without carrier support or approval, or the ability to use eSIM on devices that do not and may never get the support, such as Wi-Fi hotspots.
