So, this “advanced protection” mode prevents me from installing apps from non-PlayStore sources and developers could design their app in a way that requires this mode? So if someone is reliant on a single app requiring this mode then they would essentially have to get rid of all “unwanted” apps? Why do I think this “advanced protection” isn’t actually intended to protecting the user?
I really hope these checks can be circumvented, but even more that this will get them some EU lawsuits.
Yeah apps should not prevent you from running them in enviroments they dont want to be run in. A law like this would fix stupid banking apps and other things as well.
Yup. I hate to admit it, but the only reason why I’m currently running a custom firmware again is because my current banking app plays well with GrapheneOS. Otherwise I’d probably not bother. Being able to use a banking app is just too convenient (for me personally).
