I've been looking at the APKMirror site and notice there are numerous updated Google apps which appear to be later versions of the stock versions. E.g. there are higher versions to Google Play Store and Google Play Services to which I currently have (Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58N). Am I safe to assume that installing these more recent versions will be of benefit? I also assume it's likely these apps will be updated with the next release of Marshmallow.
Lastly would installing these more recent Google apps interfere with future OTA updates?

There are multiple misunderstandings in your post.
1. The APK Mirror links are safe to install, assuming you grab the correct ones. For instance, with Play Services, you need the 438 build with the N5 on Marshmallow.
2. Google will push these updates to your phone automatically, given enough time. You will never see update prompts for Play Store/Services, but they still update. You will see updates for the other Google apps.
3. The apps may or may not be updated with the next version of Android. I mean, Android will force an update to them, but the OTA may or may not have them included. I'll say no to this question.
3. Will installing them be of benefit? No. It's generally not dangerous either, though.
4. Does not interfere with OTA updates, as they are put on /data partition, not /system, where the OTA installs.
I have ever problem with download apps because my phone is not available Google play store. However, I found solution to this: way to download Google play again. Perhaps, some of you will see it useful.
If you have available Google play, you can update the latest version. Check your version: Google play=> setting, the build number is your current version.
Next, choose a trusted source of apk files for download Google play store APK (choilieng.com). Remember that if you download poor quality apk, they may have tampered with the apk which is bad news. (Note: download on devices or pc and transfer apk to space you‘ll remember)
Setting security to your app: Enable unknown sourced in the settings to install an apk. If disables, your system will prevent users from installing apps from anywhere aside from Google play store: Enter device setting=> security=>unknown sources => ok
Install the Google play store by using file manager: open file browser, navigate to place you put Google play store apk, click on it => click package Installer=> install.
Finally, keep yourself safe by going back and turn unknown sources off: setting=> security settings, privacy settings or application settings=>uncheck the box.
That is all. If you haven’t done this successful, it is better for you to download apk files and install apps like the step 2. Even if your devices are not available Google play or not, you can still download apk files for many installing apps in the future with more android devices.
Good News
Hi all
[1] Download the GMS Installer and install the APK, open the app and press One Touch Installation, your device will automatically reboot and automatically install Google Play Services in Huawei eRecovery.
[2] After your device booting back into system, check in Apps if the Google Play Services installed correctly.
[3] Download the rest from APKMirror : Google Account Manager, Google Calendar Sync, Google Contacts Sync, Google Play Store, and Google Services Framework. Keep in mind you should download version that fit to your android version.
3 simple steps!
You can even update the Google Play Services to the latest version using the apk's from APKMirror.
Thank you

I follow tut by this guy Ilham Pradanto one year ago, everything work perfect. Recently, I factory reset my Huawei P40 Pro (Poor me), I completely downgraded from EMUI 11 -> 10.131 (Install Google) and apply the same way to fix these errors, but when I install align-apk I got flickering white sccren (Remove Apk fix this problem). Is there any google update that led to errors ? I can prevent it ?
Don't install align apk just the patch

I alreday did it, but GPS not working and after 1 day, I got google verify error (already follow 3 tut videos of him)
So for gps you have to install the gms with a different version and for errors you have to disable automatic updates on the playstore

I found this (Google Main Components) while Googling the same subject & loaded it on mine that was stuck on October 2022 GPS update.

Not sure why some people get stuck on old versions, or, what this does exactly.
Hopefully, someone will chime in on the details.

THX for the info. I was able to delete it w/the ADB command & now I'm back on an even older update (July 2022),same as the OP.
I tried it since it was from a trustworthy source (APK MIRROR), otherwise, I'd ignored it.
Now, I'm going to try something else, mentioned in another thread that was referenced in the link you posted (delete all but one Google account from phone, clear cache & data from Google Play Services & reboot) , see if I get caught up & back on the normal update frequency.

You'll have to access that through your phone's settings. Settings > Apps (System Apps) > Google Play Services

I'm on the July 2022 update as well.
Again, IDK why some people are stuck on an out-of-date GPS version.
My phone is a carrier version (T-Mobile US, model SM-S908U) but, I have flashed it to the US Unlocked model , SM-S908U1 w/XAA firmware.
IDK if that has anything to do with the delayed GPS updates, but, I'm stopping short of flashing back to the original firmware.
If I get updated, I'll post the details here....
I don't know if this could be related, but in my S22 ultra Android 13 I noticed that the Google Installer was being battery optimized, that is, was put in deep suspension. I just set no optimization for this app, and will wait to see if an upgrade for Google Play appears (I'm in December 5 version).
So I'm having the same issues on my Galaxy S22 Ultra US Snapdragon SM-S908U1 (Bought unlocked off Samsung) using with T-Mobile Sim..
My Play Systems Update is stuck on July 2022. Security Update is on December 2022. All Google Apps unusable . It tells me that I need to update Google Play Systems but when I search for update nothing...
Has anyone found a fix for this? I tried the whole ApkMirror module thing and it only updates the date not the actual software. I ended up doing factory reset a few days later and that still didn't fix anything.
By the way, make sure Find My Phone doesn't have Device Admin privileged or you won't be able to clear data and cache of Google Play Services. After revoking that privilege you can uninstall updates.
Anyways. I tried it all. Nothing works.

1. Downgrade from android 13 to android 12
2. after booting up the phone with android 12, i did a google play system update. after that it was November.
3. updated to android 13
installed this google apk https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/main-components/main-components-2022-11-01-r-release/ then it got updated to nov patch

THX for the heads-up,I'm in the process of doing this right now.
IDK if you had to factory reset to downgrade,but,when I downgraded to Android 12,my phone wouldn't boot until after I selected factory reset in recovery.
Not a biggie,just thought I'd pass it along to others who may be interested.

This doesn't actually update the software, only the date it thinks it is. This isn't a fix.

That seems kinda extreme, going through a factory reset and Android 12 for that update. I understand it's a security update, but seems that Samsung (and/or Google) should get their **** together and figure out this one.
