New app report for tested apps list

[ysfchn]

Hi!

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right repository and I don't know if you accept non-international apps for the tested apps table, but I'm going to leave that in case anyone finds it useful anyway. :)

The app name is "Papara" (com.mobillium.papara), it is a proprietary wallet/payment app which widely used in Turkey by teenagers. I was using their app since when I was on OnePlus's stock ROM (with root), but after I switch to DivestOS, I lost access to Papara because it didn't let me signing in by giving a generic message, which is used by them to tell that "device is not secured" saying "Please use a secure connection such as home network, install the app from official sources and disable your VPN if available [...]". I assume Papara checks for SafetyNet, because of course the device was not passing SafetyNet. Even if they have web version, their mobile app is the only way to use some features and to login in their web app, it sends an OTP from their mobile app which obviously I couldn't use. SMS option is only available after waiting a minute, which is not ideal to wait a minute for each time that I want to use the app.

Then I tried installing Huawei AppGallery and downloading their app from there, since I thought they removed some Google dependencies for Huawei devices that don't come with Google Play Services built-in. But strangely, the app complained about device/connection being not secured again.

Later I found that Papara actually checks if a device can connect to SafetyNet and passes it (even if it is installed from AppGallery) by simply disabling SafetyNet support on MicroG to see what the app will tell. And it finally let me in! I guess the app finally assumed that I don't have Google Play Services installed after it couldn't connect to SafetyNet API.

TL;DR: "Papara" (proprietary wallet/payment app in Turkey) works if it can't connect to SafetyNet API on DivestOS. So it needs to be explicitly disabled on MicroG, or make the device pass SafetyNet (which how I was doing when I was on stock ROM + Magisk). I didn't test if it also works when MicroG is not installed completely.

Thanks for making DivestOS by the way!
