Can't run various banking apps and can't run PagerDuty on a rooted device due to Google Play API Integrity Check. The ecosystem is closing in on any options to not send telemetry, and Google is leading the way in the restrictions on Freedom.
- sofixa 2y ago> Google is leading the way in the restrictions on Freedom. They're the ones allowing you to root your phone or flash a custom ROM in the first place, so that's not a fair characterisation. Banks have a vested interest in reducing fraud, and a rooted Android might allow for easier and additional attack vectors into their apps and thus systems.

- pmlnr 2y agoYou can, with magisk.
- mschuster91 2y agoThat's a cat and mouse game, and some banking apps still manage to detect rooting, and so does Netflix and Google Pay.
- colordrops 2y agoNot really though. I've been using LineageOS+Magisk for at least 6 years and haven't found an app that worked that stopped working all of a sudden. I'm using all my banking apps and everything else without issue, and have been for a long time. Doesn't seem like the app devs are hellbent on blocking those willing to use Magisk.
