After installing Play Integrity Fix 17.7, playcurl will be automatically removed.

Why should it be removed?
ik this was asked in #416 but that issue got hard deleted so I cant read it and find out
(and both google and bing stopped offering cached paged earlier this year so cant use that to read #416)
weird honestly

I have the same question.
I found a comment here in module/customize.sh:

# playcurl must be removed when flashing PIF
if [ -d "/data/adb/modules/playcurl" ]; then
    touch "/data/adb/modules/playcurl/remove"
    ui_print "! playcurl module removed!"
fi

But there is no more descriptions.Is the correct approach to reinstall the playcurl module after every update of PlayIntegrityFix? Or Should I remove playcurl module and not use it at any more?

seems kinda sus, why not just explain why it needs to be removed

may have found the reason? PlayIntegrityNEXT has been depreciated and has transfered to the PlayCurlNext repository
https://github.com/daboynb/playcurlNEXT

has a whole new versioning system and everything
so it could be just as simple as trying to force you to the newest repository?

Since some 17.7 or earlier there hasn't been a need for an additional app to get a valid key any longer, at least in my case. I also wondered about the sudden disappearance, so thank you guys for the find.
