Paying without Google: New consortium wants to remove custom ROM hurdles
www.heise.de
Using banking and payment apps on Android smartphones with custom ROMs is a problem: A European industry consortium now wants to change that.

Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

      This “shit” is being pushed by the US, and we Europeans are the ones pushing back on it. Just sayin.
