I don’t think it matters. ReVanced patches original YouTube so it will use whatever YouTube is using. Even if current YouTube app doesn’t use WebView that’s nothing stopping them from adding it in the future.
If I’m reading article right, Google supposedly “discontinued” the attestation technology in Chrome, because of the shit storm, but looks like they are thinking of adding it to Android and use it to verify the devices and applications are genuine. The YouTube server for example might refuse to serve the video if the application is not genuine.
It would piss me off hopefully the eu covers that under there antitrust specificly with what they are hopefully going to implement with the new thing they are doing with 3rd party app stores but idk we will see.
Talk to your bank and demand them to disable SafetyNet. You own your phone and by doing this they are trying to protect you from yourself.
My bank app works I think one credit card app displayed warning that my phone is rooted but still let me use it. Your banking app should not block you, but it can warn you if they less feel better.
If you don’t contact them and continue to use the back there is zero motivation for them to change anything.
I hear this pathetic argument over and over again. It is primarily used in politics. “my senator/representative is republican, he won’t listen” maybe he won’t but the others that already agree with you, don’t require convincing, your congressman does though so that’s why you need to have your opinion heard.
Unlike with politician, a bank is much easier to change for an individual. You can send email to them, threatening to change and if they refuse, you follow on it (worst case you go to bank that doesn’t do this). You would be surprised how effective this might be when it is connected in any way to their revenue. In most cases the management might not even be aware of the issue and devs simply enabled it because they were told the app needs to be secure, and checking phone integrity sounds like a secure thing to do.
Can someone confirm whether YouTube ReVanced really uses WebView?
It’s the official app apk with some mods. So probably not.
In that case the premise of the entire article is wrong then.
Google can redesign the official app and kill functionality to the previous version.

If they are testing application genuinity im more concerned they might break all the google services hacks etc used by graphene os.
Which would suck.

Why would the EU cover how Google controls who uses Google’s services?
deleted by creator
Most people I know who use Graphene still use Google services and backend stuff. Just sand boxed so they have a bit more control.
Personally, I’m still looking for something that isn’t Google or Apple. Haven’t found it yet.
Ive completly killed google excepr for revanced am working on that tho.
And sandboxed is better than nothing gives more control ill take that over no control any day.
I mean they successfully destroyed any possibility to use banking apps in custom roms like LineageOS, with their new Play Integrity https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity
Maybe there already is or there will be some circumvention, but when i had to do it there was none.
Banking apps work fine on graphene or at least mine does.

Yeah me and the 50 nerds as customers won’t change a thing

What major change did you accomplish at big companies or political?
