@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social I think you might have answered this before, but is there any way to make your OS look different to applications to circumvent the ban?

@zm@kolektiva.social No, there's no feasible way to do that. They're mostly using the Play Integrity API to ban using anything not certified by Google. It's highly resistant to bypassing the checks at scale and uses hardware-based attestation when available. Strong integrity level fully requires hardware-based attestation which can't be spoofed but rather would require leaked keys which can be revoked after detecting it via fingerprinting. The currently more common device integrity level partially requires it.

@zm@kolektiva.social @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Everything involves a lawyer and lobbiests. Does google's APIs count as a monopoly in your country - that is the first place I would look. However you are looking at large lawyer bills to prove it.
