Device attestation is pretty annoying fr. It's a constant game of cat and mouse to get it to work on a Custom ROM, whether its on the devs of the ROM, or whoever maintains the magisk modules if you're rooted.
I do hope things change about this

Looking forward to this. I don’t run a custom ROM myself but I am rooted, primarily to revoke permissions from Google apps and to back up my OS and app data as I desire.

However I’d much prefer to be able to run something like GrapheneOS on a Pixel if it meant I could run apps that are picky about Safetynet/Play Integrity, such as banking apps and the like

CalyxOS lets me run most safety net stuff, though notably Pokemon go stopped working all of a sudden.

Most things works fine, if they don’t there are ways around it, like installing the neutered play version. Only hard NO currently is Gpay.

Not missing root functionality things at all

Not gonna like. This is interesting. Who knew that messing with the ROM community could put Google in trouble.

On a personal note, I’m annoyed that our national ID app doesn’t work with graphene OS.

There are workarounds by patching out the security check from the app and sideloading the newly created app, but that is just annoying and has to be repeated for every update.

I just don’t see how rigorose device checks that lock out graphene users, but allow any Android 8.0+ device (where security support ended more than 3 years ago) make ANY sense.

It isn’t a security feature, more like a backdoor checkbox.

Or frontdoor checkbox for that matter, given that it’s the literal device owner that takes the action tripping their “security” tripwire.

It only makes sense when you look at it from the perspective of a greedy corporation with a fake “open source” ideology.

The site provides a nice TL,DR:

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

It’s high time Custom ROMs and users alike did this. I cannot run a custom ROM on my primary device due to play integrity shenanigans some apps may have.
