    I’ve not used play store for a number of years now, so I was unaware of this. I guess for those uninterested in getting your apps and updates from elsewhere, consider that this may cause issues with the play store, appreciate the heads up.

      Most importantly: the banking-apps won’t work. And as a Dutchman, where creditcards are virtually non-existent, I need my banking-apps to pay my regular bills.

        Use a nice rooted phone as your daily driver and keep a shitty burner to use on wifi for any such finicky apps. Keep it off so the camera/mic is useless.

        For what it’s worth, this isn’t the case, at least for me, using banking apps within the UK. I do need to keep the apps updated to maintain functionality, but with 3rd party stores offering auto updates it hasn’t been an issue thus far.

        Not to say that your experience is the minority though, it’s entirely plausible my experience is the exception.

        It’s funny how ABN AMRO works on my rooted phone but the Toyota app for my car flags rooted phones as unsafe.
