@e_mydata@mastodon.social google has found an more effective way to lock-in users and developers. #GooglePlayIntegrityAPI checks if the smartphone is an “original” Android and blocks the functionality from within the app. No way to handle this from the users side. As long as you have no answer to this thread, the time of #customROM is over in a few months. Because Google gonna push the big companies to use its technic.
