TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

yeah. like my manufacturers' 3-year-old, full-o-spyware ROM is more secure than latest clean installed lineage.

they just want control, not security. and with banking apps becoming a necessity, i'm starting to be forced to return to stock.

same bs with apps not running jidt because root or apps not being visible in playstore because of it. Netflix isn't even showing up as existing in playstore just because i have root. it's nuts. and there are tons of apps like this.

You can fix most apps with the Play Integrity Fix module and denylist. You might have to hide the magisk app too. It doesn't get 100% of them though, I still can't figure out how my bank app is catching it. Plus I've had RCS stop working with that setup, so I have to keep it disabled to avoid missing messages

The apple music app checks for a specific binary. Could be something like that.
