Then this bug started engulfing more devices and at the time of writing, the list of affected phones must keep on growing. So what is the reason behind this issue? When you use the cloning feature to create clones of apps on your device, then it tends to create a new userspace [user -999]. And this new user profile tends to create a new Google Mobile Service package as well as a framework. This, in turn, ends up conflicting with the original GMS associated with the default userspace [user-0]. Even if you remove the clone apps, the secondary GMS stay there and prevents numerous GMS-dependent apps from carrying out their normal functionality. So to rectify this issue of Google Pay not working with ColorOS 13, you will either have to manually delete this new userspace or the new GMS package. So without further ado, let’s get started.

Before starting, do note that both these fixes come with their fair share of drawbacks. If you delete the user -999 profile, then it might have an adverse impact on all the clone apps. On the other hand, if you delete the new GMS package, then the clone apps dependent on Google apps and services might not function along the expected lines. With that said, we have listed both these methods below, you may refer to the one that is in sync with your requirement.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
