They changed something in the play integrity or one of those similar libraries. They’re not explicitly targeting GrapheneOS, it’s affecting some other platforms too. It was also affecting iPhones, but I think they’ve since fixed that.
Maybe, the technical explanation is hopefully forthcoming. The article (which I will concede doesn’t seem super professional) explicitly says “banned by Volkswagen”, which is what I’m curious about.
Thanks for that! Sounds like SEAT and Cupra (both have Volkswagen Group as their parent companies) are also affected - I wonder when this will spread to other Volkswagen & Porche-owned brands. What a terrible move for consumer choice/security/etc.
