I wonder how long until not having a safetynet approved (tm) phone is a serious hindrance in everyday life. Their effort is admirable but I can't help but think

  For me, it already is. I use Google Pay extensively, which checks SafetyNet during regular operation, and I hear the Netflix app even disappears from the Play Store if the phone fails SafetyNet. (Sure, you can install it from APKMirror or whatever, but...) I expect some other banking apps on my phone wouldn't work either.

  In theory you can go here [1] and whitelist your phone to have a custom rom on your phone count as play protected. In practice it's another google service that doesn't work and you get no support for it when it doesn't work.

    That will only make it pass basicintegrity. Apps may decide to only trust hardware backed safetynet at any time. https://developer.android.com/training/safetynet/attestation#potential-integrity-verdicts https://developer.android.com/training/safetynet/attestation...
