No complicated workarounds needed. Sailfish OS has _just_ gotten Bluetooth working across Sailfish and Android ("App support") which meant that I could use my existing phone to ask for BankID for the new phone, and with BT enables _and_ high accuracy Location enabled on the Jolla everything finally passed. Having BankID support is a must for Swedish users to be a daily driver so this is a relief.

@troed@swecyb.com Really nice to hear that that worked! When I set up my current #jolla over a year ago I had to modify the Bluetooth configs back and forth via SSH

Since the reason for making the Jolla phone my daily driver is to get away from US tech I am installing Android apps from F-droid if they're there. That meant that my Matrix client (Element X) doesn't use Google's notification servers and I had to look into setting up me own. Well that was a breeze since it's a mostly one-click installation if you're already running a Nextcloud server! Unexpectedly smooth transition over to my own Unified Push infrastructure - that I now will immediately put other family members on who are on degoogled Androids.
