Guide on using remote attestation in a way that's compatible with GrapheneOS.

Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

man, and i was gonna switch to graphene this christmas. if every app can just ban my OS, i might have to rethink this. i would use the website but they restrict so many things to apps now…
- Well, switching to GrapheneOS shows that you don't care what those companies do, and that you're willing to fight. It means those companies lose one more customer. The more people that use GrapheneOS, the more companies will be forced to support it.
  
  Honestly i didn’t even think of that. i’ll still switch then!
  
  Nice choice. You not switching is exactly what these companies wanted.
- I was about to switch bank because for a few days my current one (inadvertently) blocked it on grapheneOS. We sent them a few emails and they fixed in less than a week.
  
  I use a small local credit union that doesn't appear on their supported list. It's literally the only thing holding me back, I'm tempted to say fuck it anyway. But I wonder if it might work anyway...
  
  If nothing else can you use the browser?
  I've used Hermit for years to present websites like an app, and am using Native Alpha on my new phone.
  
  Yeah you're probably right. I've gotta get a new phone before I can really attempt it, but I'll at least try!
  
  Order a Pixel
  Flash GrapheneOS
  If it works, congratulations! If not, switch banks or revert to stock and return the phone.
  
  What's the app name? I could install it and see what happens
- TBF, this is the first time I've encountered an app not working - and it was before this. It's just because of Google push towards monopoly via their Play Integrity API that's ruining this.
  
  play "integrity" should be considered malware, any program that deliberately does something the user doesn't want it to should.
- Use a browser like Native Alpha or Hermit, which present a website like an app.
  And if you use Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for your passwords, it can be pretty seamless.
