Privacy@lemmy.ml•Curated list of banking app support for GrapheneOS
0·1 year agoI’m not sure because a bank being absent from such a list could either mean the compatibility is known to be functional or unknown. And that’s very different and I would argue a very critical difference.
As a user I would definitely care most about a list of functional banks and that is what we have. What you propose, while it has its value, would not be actionable to users due to the ambiguity I raised above.

Some apps will rely on Google services to determine whether they are running on a “secure” device (ie determined by Google). This is refered to as hardware attestation. But there is a Google version of it and a generic version of it (which is implemented in GrapheneOS). If the bank relies on the Google version, it will fail on GrapheneOS, despite actually having hardware attestation.
