They updated the app to use the “Play Integrity[sic] API,” which actively blocks GOS.
“Does not meet” implies there is something reasonable GOS could do to “fix” it, which untrue and misleading. The malice on Google’s and Volkswagen’s part is an important part of the story.
Big companies have been trying to lock out custom ROMs for years, it’s a giant cat and mouse game. The integrity bullshit thing is just another move. And the fascists in charge have been stripping regulations which is allowing these companies to make such bold moves.
I think we’re on the same page here. I apologize for coming off so harsh.

Requiring a valid Play Integrity API response is a blanket enforcement on all custom ROMs, regardless of security measures.
This was not a targeted attack on Graphene. GOS users just tend to be more vocal and…paranoid.
“Does not meet” has more than one meaning. Don’t play dumb.
I didn’t say the attack was “targeted” only on GOS; you made that up yourself. But it is an attack, as opposed to something with a valid excuse.
Also: it’s only paranoia if they aren’t actually out to get you.
