What's SafetyNet have to do with anything? It's opt it device attestation the app creator has to implement
It's not Android/Google forcing SafetyNet on you, it's app developers insisting you need some special end user setup
- heavyset_go 5y agoI have the same problems with SafetyNet as I do with Widevine. > What's SafetyNet have to do with anything? I thought I made that pretty clear in my post. I was addressing a post about competitors to Android facing challenges because of lack of app support from major companies. SafetyNet helps Google maintain their mobile OS duopoly with Apple by preventing other mobile operating systems from running Android apps, despite there not being any technical reason why the apps can't run on other operating systems. Steam was able to bring Windows games over to Linux via Proton because of projects like WINE. SafetyNet precludes running Android apps on devices and operating systems Google doesn't approve of. Microsoft was able to bring Linux apps over to Windows via WSL 1 & 2. SafetyNet precludes running Android apps on Windows unless Google gives Windows a pass in their DRM.
