By working with the real hardware vendor, they could apply for the certification, thus making the apps requiring the useless stamp from google work again.
Well, except for those apps that specifically tries to blacklist graphene. Looking at you, Revolut!
And what simple setting is that?
I have multiple apps that don’t work because their app developers use Google as the security verification, which is very common with banking apps.
I’m one of the lucky ones, where Lloyds’ app will not work with GrapheneOS. At all.
Its kind of a pain in the ass, but ultimately its the only app, so its OK. The only other issue is the lack of NFC payment support for my bank card. But I have magsafe case and wallet, so carry my card with my phone.
That’d make them even more of a niche option than right now, since some apps (most notably banking) will just refuse to work.
Most of them work fine. Typically don’t have to even enable compatibility mode.
Although Google’s new Play Integrity API is breaking more apps every day.
Banking apps generally speaking work, it’s the NFC payments via google pay that don’t and probably never will.

Exploit protection compatibility mode worked for every app that didn’t work out of the box for me
That’s crazy. It didn’t work for any of the banking apps I tried it with. Maybe I’ll give it another try since it’s been a while.

Here’s more info on which apps are compatible, definitely worth double checking that all the ones you use are on the list
Thanks for all the info. I did some testing and a bunch of apps that didn’t work before are now working. Not everything, but a lot more than before.

I always been a bit skeptical of storing my credit card info on my phones, I still prefer keeping and using the actual card lol
