GrapheneOS attestation compatibility guide

Guide on using remote attestation in a way that's compatible with GrapheneOS.

Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of ‘non-google’ approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that’s true or not…

    So the Play Integrity API is literally why I moved to iOS. My bank apps didn’t work with Lineage and the stock OnePlus ROM just sucked ass after the ColorOS or whatever update. I figured I might as well go iOS if I can’t have a custom ROM anyway, and so far it has indeed been a much nicer experience than stock Android. If you can’t TRULY customize everything, might as well at least get stability and consistency out of it, right? Plus at the time, there wasn’t a single Android OEM out there with truly long OS update support.

    Anyway, if this succeeds and custom ROMs are considered to have sound integrity, I might just move back to Android. Graphene seems cool, I haven’t tried it yet because I’ve never owned a Pixel.

      How would iOS be better? There is no blob-free, secure version on their devices at all. Right?

        It’s not for privacy. But without access to custom ROMs, Android is shit.

            Sure, but my point was if you can’t even use ROMs because then you lose access to your bank (and now McD apparently), there’s much less reason to use Android - certainly was so 2.5 years ago when they were mostly all promising 2-3 years of support for flagship devices and Apple had a track record of 6-7 years.

              Nah, you dont need MacDonalds and you dont need shitty banks that require apps.

              Apple has a terrible security record lol

                How do I send people money without a bank? Okay maybe Wise but as you pointed out in the other thread, that money might not be insured. Also, iPhones are harder to unlock from before first unlock than many stock Androids.

                  I’m saying use another bank that doesn’t block security hardened phones. Or one that doesn’t require a phone at all.

                  More than half of the world sends money without bank accounts. How varies by region, but its usually a local company (usually mobile telecom companies) or an international remittances company, or cryptocurrencies

                    I personally use ATMs to send money. And if I were willing to resolve cert troubles (long story), I would’ve used the bank’s website rather than the app.
