We've added an initial section to our site with a list of apps explicitly banning using GrapheneOS via the Play Integrity API with links to their Play Store pages:

https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos

We'll gradually expand this list to include many more apps and then we'll link it a lot.

I'm going to install BankID on my old phone just in case they too join the club (and will try and get in touch with them)

These apps are taking a stand against user privacy security. They're disallowing protecting privacy with tools like our Contact/Storage Scopes and Sensors toggle. They're disallowing protecting against exploits heavily used by authoritarians against their political opposition.

We can add a feature to the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer for showing a notification when apps use the Play Integrity API. We can then use that to greatly expand the list, and then we can coordinate feedback campaigns to the whole list of apps from our community.

It's hard for us to greatly expand it right now because users reporting an app is disallowing using GrapheneOS isn't quite enough to know it's using the Play Integrity API. They're sometimes implementing their own faulty checks which can usually be worked around with our toggles.

ebay is one of those apps, right ?

Possibly, we would need to confirm it. Some of these apps use it as a factor for banning registration or login but don't always do it so it's hard to figure it out without looking at the logs.

This is awesome. maybe @akc3n.page will create another list based on this, similar to banking app one which has been very helpful to community :)

Is that just a starter list?

Iirc basically every fast food app, most banking apps, and countless others require attestation?

I can't help but think the devs don't have a clue what it is, are using some third party "security" library, and just checkboxing every "security" feature like a buffet.

If you may, please also add the other McD app which is used in many countries. check the link
