Description of the app's functionality

I simply can't install the app via google play store on Graphene OS. It seems it is not supported.
On stock it works flawlessly.

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

No response

ADB logcat of the app if necessary

No response

Why has the problem been closed? I am not able to install the app from the Play Store. Even if I follow your really good instructions in the GOS forum (https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/8330-app-compatibility-with-grapheneos), I can't install the app. Maybe I'm missing something? If so, I apologize and would appreciate a tip, otherwise it should be declared as incompatible, right?

I don't know if it's supposed to be Germany here when Klarna is Swedish built. Or because the dude is German and uses the app. But Klarna is working for me, without issue. Installed via Aurora.

Klarna is Swedish built

Thank you, I will look into it.

... But Klarna is working for me, without issue. Installed via Aurora.

If you are using the Anonymous Login mode then it installs the wrong variant of apps by default due to not searching or fetching apps based on device model. More on that here and here.

@voidblack I cant install the app either. That is because:

11 — It's plausible that this is app-related, rather than a compatibility issue with GrapheneOS - acknowledging this factor must be considered.

• "Some apps on the Play Store are known to set themselves as unavailable for devices not passing Play Integrity at different levels"
• Intended solely for apps that utilize the Play Integrity API to ensure users don't have a negative experience by installing them, only to find they don't work.

@onkq I can confirm that the app can be installed via the Aurora Store. However, this is not the bug I was referring to, but the fact that the app cannot be installed via the Play Store. I do not recommend installing banking apps from the Aurora store as this involves a loss of security, especially as it involves sensitive data (as described below by @akc3n). I also assumed that the app cannot be installed because the Play Store and Klarna check whether the operating system on which the app is to be installed is verified.

Thanks for the information. The only option from my point of view is to wait and see if the app can be installed in the long term if something changes in the security check. Until then, the app must be considered incompatible from my point of view, even if this is not exactly the case with regard to the Aurora Store.

@akc3n I hope it's okay that I closed the issue with my comment. If this is not the case, I apologize.

I still have to add it with a strike through to front end list as not compatible. I leave issues open until I get it added to https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/privsec.dev/blob/main/content/posts/android/Banking%20Applications%20compatibility%20with%20GrapheneOS.md

Don't be so quick. It works to install it via Play Store too, as I just did, and I'm able to use it.

Well, I'm surprised, but the app is actually now available via the Play Store. Yesterday it was still listed as not installable. Then this app can now be listed as compatible.

Thank you @onkq.
