Finland is launching a (laughably insecure) mobile driver's license

  Obviously it will not take long until there is an app you can use to generate a fake driving license that has all the fancy anti-tampering animations. But will it be a money maker for the app creator, or will it be banned in the play store?

    Of course such a modified app wouldn't be accepted into Google Play or any other official app store, it would have to be sideloaded.

      It doesn't have to be a modified version of the original app. It can just be an app that generates very similar looking graphics and animations, the "Funny Finnish Driving License Generator" or something. You think this would still break the terms/rules?

        Such an app might first get accepted into an app store (by accident), but it would surely break the rules and get taken down pretty quickly.

  Why would someone want to forge a mobile drivers license? You get stopped while driving, cops scan it and you get caught. Although, there are no cops in Finland so you could just as well be driving without a license. You try to pretend to be someone at a bank or a government office, they only accept actual IDs. Only people I can imagine actually trying to make use of this are minors trying to buy alcohol, and even then the store shouldn't accept this as an ID.
