Description of the app's functionality

The app works great, although signing in is a pain if you use a randomly generated password as switching between a password manager and the app resets all of the details - I think this is just the app, and no fault of gOS as I've experienced it on my stock P8 Pro (will be installing gOS on that shortly, I'm pretty certain it'll still work fine though).

Of course, there's no working Google Wallet integration.

Are there any extra notes you think users should know about?

As with my last submission, I'm not 100% on the build number but it was the 2023101300 release.

ADB logcat of the app if necessary

No response

By the way @akc3n, the issue form requests that you add the appropriate country label but only people with triage permissions can do that (I'm not sure if it's geared towards the general population or for internal members though).

@brxken128 thanks for reminding me of that. I'll update the instructions on the form.

Are reports from the same bank, but different devices supported? I just flashed my Pixel 8 pro and use 4/5 UK banking apps.

@brxken128 Yes. Issue authors may edit their own banking app report, add additional devices they've tested on, and update the notes field to reflect changes, if any possible solutions for workarounds were required, what devices it applies to, version of app, and os build numbers.

Are reports from the same bank, but different devices supported?

For non-authors of a submitted banking app report it might be best to add a comment with those details. That way users and contributors whom subscribe to specific app reports can be notified of changes. Making compatibility with GrapheneOS easier to track.

I should make a snippet template for this sort of things to make things easier when contributors wish to update others banking app reports in the comments.

As seen in #346 the app now denies functionality, probably due to play integrity. Please check out this update to find out what's being done to combat this problem and what you can do to help.
