I believe disabling play protect turns this off
Edit: no it doesn't. This is play integrity API which can't be disabled and will be in the APK itself.... hopefully it can be patched out

Wao, how is this going to work if now they are required by law to allow third-party stores in Android? What the fuck?

“ but android is open source! You can do whatever you want with it!”
A 20 year-old lie, and I’m glad to see the android worshipers finally realize it was always a load of shit.
You can complain about iOS all you like, but android is no better. It’s about time people started to realize that.

Surely that means they'll allow more apps onto their own app store with that, right? Right?
Does anyone have try https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/ Or c2 https://shop.jolla.com/

I know it’s not for everyone, but my Light Phone III arrives soon and tech headlines of late aren’t making me regret my choice.

So say you want to move to one of these other OS's graphene or whatever. Do those work with modern banking apps? Pretty much the only reason they haven't done The switch so far is because Bank of America would tell me to fuck right off as far as I know
you can pack them on the magisk denylist and then they might work flawlessly.
this has never failed me but i would still not recommend it.
these banks and Google have no hesitation to cut your access to your money one day. they own your way of interacting with the web now and they don't like what you're attempting here
This a massive overreach and so stupid when nowadays apple even relaxed their limitations a little, I heard that iOS users don't need to jailbreak anymore to use outside apps. What will be the point of android?
Google says that only apps with verified identities will be installable on certified Android devices, which is virtually every Android-based device—if it has Google services on it, it's a certified device.
Any chance you can just remove their shit via adb?
