GApps for Android 12, Android 12L and Android 12.1 is needed as none of the custom ROM based on Android 12 will have that included due to copyright reasons. This article lists all available GApps for Android 12 based custom ROMs such as: AOSP Android 12, LineageOS 18 etc.

Android 12 GApps Download
Typically the GApps packages are available based on the architecture type such as: ARM64, ARM (32-bit) and x86 etc. and the same is true for Android 12 as well.
In addition, there are many flavors of the GApps such as: OpenGApps, BiTGApps, ExLiteGapps, FlameGApps, NikGApps, etc. out of which OpenGApps is the most popular one but that seems to have been discontinued officially.
There were no such good development we have seen for the Android 11 GApps though.
As far as the credibility goes, as of now we have the FlameGApps working and I hope the others will follow very soon as the Android 12 source code has been released and we already have some custom ROMs already available.
