BankID säkerhetsapp-GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455 #824

vildevilde · 2019-06-06T21:52:08Z

BankID säkerhetsapp, Swedish app for elektronic identification.

BankID doesn't connect and are useless with last update GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455.

Same problem on two phones running LOS w MicroG, Google Pixel (Sailfish) LOS 16, and Google Nexus (Bullhead) running LOS 15. Both fully updated same issue. My solution was going back to GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280.

Sorry, I don't know how to make any logs and so, I did found out how to make logs see next entry.

vildevilde · 2019-06-07T06:54:17Z

Here follows logfile, while trying to make a new BankID on my bank with BankID app. Both from Google Nexus (Bullhead) LOS 15

First one with newest gmscore, GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455, and here BankID fails.

Next logfile, is with GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280 and here BankID works.

Sadly the latest update of BankID broke compatibility with MicroG, I believe it is related to the issue #676.

vildevilde · 2019-06-07T12:55:49Z

I do have LOS 16 on Google Pixel and BankID 7.14.0.56, installed yesterday so it should be a newest version and it's working with GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280 but not with GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455

roydenyates · 2019-06-07T22:57:14Z

Confirmed LOS 16 on BQ Aquaris X and BankID 7.14.0.56 (latest) - it's working with GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280 but not with GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455.

I think it was the other way round

Phydragelit · 2019-06-10T16:37:01Z

(Both devices have BankID v7.14.0.71401 (latest) installed).
BankID säkerhetsapp worked on "OnePlus 3T (oneplus3)" running "LineageOS for microG 16" with "GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280" but "BankID säkerhetsapp" stopped working after system update with "GmsCore-v0.2.7.17455" upgrade.
Still works on "OnePlus One (bacon)" running "LineageOS for microG 16" with "GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280".
Both devices have working "Google Cloud Messaging" acording to "Push Notication Tester".

Haven't tested going back to older version of "LineageOS for microG 16" on "OnePlus 3T (oneplus3)" with "GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280" yet.

churchthecat · 2019-06-11T18:25:48Z

Can confirm the issue on 1+3T , lineage for microg 16. can also confirm that downgrading worked. thanks vildevilde for the workaround

ahstro · 2019-06-15T01:31:25Z

Didn't manage to downgrade my OS (and almost botched the backup 😅 ), so if anyone needs some logs or testing, hmu.

ghost · 2019-06-18T00:53:04Z

This has probably been fixed with the latest unreleased commits ("Fix calling package detection in KK+"). If BankID crashes with a SecurityException, rest assured that it will be fixed by the next update.

ahstro · 2019-06-19T11:18:46Z

BankID doesn't crash, it just loads forever, but I hope that it solves that.

churchthecat · 2019-06-19T11:28:16Z

ahstro you only need to downgrade gmscore not the entire OS/ROM. uninstall gmscore from priv-app. Install the older one in priv-app again.

ahstro · 2019-06-19T11:41:27Z

@churchthecat, thanks, I'll try that. I'm using microG's LineageOS ROM, so I thought I'd just make it "easy" for me, but easy is never easy, huh. I'll try your solution ASAP. Sorry for diverging the issue thread a bit 😇

roydenyates · 2019-06-19T14:11:35Z

If you are on Lineage OS 16 from Microg and updated the OS a few days back, it updated GmsCore to the problematic v0.2.7.17455 as a system app. This will not uninstall or downgrade on device AFAIK.

churchthecat · 2019-06-19T16:59:57Z

I am on linage for microG as well. No problem remove and install it (I used magisk modules debloater and systemizer in termux) just don't update the ROM afterwards as it will install the problematic version again ( I assume).

Any idea when this next update will come? is there some way to test this fix before?

vildevilde · 2019-06-20T09:25:08Z

On my G Pixel there is a new update today, LOS w MicroG, are there any way safe to update the rom and then roll back microG? Last time it failed to me and I had to reinstall the rom. Then I reinstalled an older rom with working MicroG and the update the rom before I rolled back MicroG, that worked. But I don't want to reinstall to update rom.

churchthecat · 2019-06-20T10:22:41Z

all I can say is that it worked for me, but I wait to install any ROM updates until a new version of gmscore is included.

roydenyates · 2019-06-20T11:00:29Z

On my phone, the bootloader does not like a rw /system and the OS freezes. That meant magisk etc was useless. BUT, using TWRP I could mount /system rw in a stable way and then use adb to install GsmCore in the older version as a system app (in /system/priv-app/GsmCore/). And it must be a system app for spoofing to work and correct signature.

Ok, from being in twrp with system rw, how exactly did you install the older GsmCore with adb?

roydenyates · 2019-06-20T13:19:23Z

Easiest is to get the right GmsCore .apk on the device beforehand. Or from PC,
adb push xxxxx.apk /sdcard/ (choose right apk name, & dir path in place of /sdcard/
then
adb shell
su (from TWRP you likely should be root anyway)
rm /system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk (this removes the installed "problem" version)
cd /sdcard (or where you have pushed the xxxx.apk)
mv xxxxx.apk /system/priv-app/GmsCore/xxxxxx.apk (replace xxx as appropriate)
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/GmsCore/xxxxx.apk

Then unmount system in Twrp and reboot. GmsCore should now be "systemized" at the working version, and microg should show it is working.

Thank you, what's the difference from just deleting/removing the files with the filemanager in twrp?

roydenyates · 2019-06-20T14:42:31Z

None, I just was in the adb groove :-)

vildevilde · 2019-06-20T15:27:03Z

I did it, it worked this time, just replaced the file with twrp filemanager, just as first time I did it, wonder why it didn't work the second time?

vildevilde · 2019-07-04T09:00:48Z

There is a new release of GmsCore since yesterday. v0.2.8.17785, there are two versions, GmsCore-v0.2.8.17785-mapbox.apk and GmsCore-v0.2.8.17785-vtm.apk.
Today after a new update with LOS MicroG on Google Pixel (Sailfish) instead of changing back to the old GmsCore-v0.2.6.13280.apk, as I usually do I tried both the new versions but unfortunately I have the same issue as before. BankId is not working and i had to go back to the old version again :(

ale5000-git · 2019-07-09T10:18:27Z

Could all of you update to this build and retry please?

@vildevilde: It is more recent then the versions you already tried and also more recent than the last release.

Ok then what I've been compiling seems to do what it should do. I do not have a lot of time these days, so troubleshooting the problem in my device with the locally compiled files might take me quite a while. Otherwise, @vildevilde , we could basically do two things if you have the time for it:

I compile every-single-commit between versions 0.2.6 and 0.2.7, make them available to you. Then you can test them and bisect the commit which introduced the error (do you have experience with git?)
The other option is to have a meeting in which we can go together through this, so I compile commits, share them with you and you test them later. You can write to my github's email address (ablocorrea@hotmail.com) and we can set a time and date.

If none of the above is possible, I might be able to troubleshoot the problem I have with my personal device, but I have no idea on how long could that take.

@pablofsf It has to be option 2, I have no idea about git, in fact I don't even know what git is really. I am a user not a programmer or anything like that. I send you a mail.

an0nkyle · 2019-08-21T07:38:50Z

I'm using microg 0.2.8.17785 and I tried an qr scanner in f droid for bankid it comes up with this error.
NOTE: I'm using yalp store (its alternative googleplaystore)

"Technical error 134
Try again
If this error remains you may need to remove the BankID security app from your device and try again by installing the app from the Google Play and activating a new BankID from your bank."

AsavarTzeth · 2019-08-21T13:56:05Z

Hi all!

This has been a big issue to me for a long time but I never had the time to debug the issue. Today however, I managed to find the bad commit using git bisect.

725926529a9cbc493535ccaf3f118a30cb01fdd7 is the first bad commit
commit 725926529a9cbc493535ccaf3f118a30cb01fdd7
Author: voidstarstar <voidstarstar@users.noreply.github.com>

    Add implementation of ProviderInstallerImpl

 play-services-core/build.gradle                                       | 2 ++
 .../com/google/android/gms/common/security/ProviderInstallerImpl.java | 4 +++-
 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)

I hope this helps!

Detailed debugging process:
(for others, like myself, that are otherwise easily confused)

I used a left over Nexus 7 2013 LTE (found in my basement), with a fresh install of LineageOS 16.0 (Android 9), without Google Apps. A real clean test environment.
Made sure I had a baseline:
- Verified that the last official release that works with BankID is v0.2.6.13280
- Tested all other later official releases and verified that none of them worked.
- Verified that a local build of v0.2.6.13280 still worked with BankID.
- Verified that a local build of v0.2.7.17455 still did not work with BankID.
Removed all previous installs of microG Services Core, using adb shell 'rm /system/priv-app/GmsCore/*' to remove all contents of /system/priv-app/GmsCore.
- Note: Since my ROM had no way of granting the spoofing permission (including from the command line), I had to install it this way.
Built, signed and zip aligned the apk. Then installed it using adb push ... /system/priv-app, in TWRP recovery.
- Included the commit hash in all my finished apk's, to help make sure I installed the correct file.
Booted into system. Then made sure to check the app's "Self-Check" tab and the commit listed in the "About" section.
Did a test involving issuing a BankID certificate via my bank. This required the use of a third-party QR app, which worked well as expected.
Once I had started the bisection I finished by marking the commit appropriately (good/bad).

an0nkyle · 2019-08-22T02:30:10Z

Can you send the zip file for twrp here? :) I'm to lazy

jonjonasson · 2019-08-22T05:30:32Z

@AsavarTzeth Thank you for doing this!

Does current master work with the bad commit reverted?

AsavarTzeth · 2019-08-22T19:32:12Z

@jonjonasson I will check the first chance I get tomorrow! Its been a busy day.

@an0nkyle What zip file? A zip archive containing the last working apk I built? I don't see the point, since it is hardly much newer than v0.2.6.13280. I would personally like to spend my time fixing the issue instead. Hopefully it won't take long!

The addition of the ProviderInstallerImpl broke com.bankid.bus (BankID säkerhetsapp). This app is essential to Swedish users since it is effectively the de facto Swedish online id. This issue is resolved by adding the app id to the existing black list. Fixes microg#824

AsavarTzeth · 2019-08-23T16:35:29Z

Reverting the bad commit proved complicated. There was a big conflict to resolve which I did not feel at all comfortable with and any changes I made would likely affects other components.

Luckily I managed to do better!

jonjonasson · 2019-08-23T16:43:58Z

@AsavarTzeth Fantastic! Nice find! Big thanks for putting in the time and effort!

vildevilde · 2019-08-23T17:51:40Z

@AsavarTzeth I'd like to thank you for your effort, and also all others who helped and tried to help.

But, Excuse me for not knowing, but what happens now? is there a new GmsCore that are working with BankId or will it take some time?

chris42 · 2019-08-23T18:07:45Z

To have it in the official microg, Marvin will need to review the pull request, accept it and then create a new release. Then it will be regularly available.

If you can't wait for that you can compile the current version with the fix and use it (or ask someone to do that for you). Installing self-compiled versions is easy, but not straight forward.

Thank you for a quick and informative answer, I can wait, I just wanted to know what will happen.

AsavarTzeth · 2019-08-23T18:20:33Z

Luckily this is a small change that won't affect anything else. The only possible hold up I could foresee is a minor style error or some best practice I am unaware off.

It is certainly possible, since I am a not at all a good programmer and I basically don't know anything specific to Java.

vildevilde · 2019-08-23T18:28:56Z

I'm really glad if this issue now is solved for us all here Sweden :)

Jag tackar och bugar ;)

rub3rth · 2019-09-11T21:45:10Z

Hi all, what's the latest news on this? I'm on an S7 and get error 134 on BankID and the general vibe of this thread seems to be an optimistic one. Is it possible to get some guidance as to how I should go about fixing this? I'm on the latest version of the gsmcore.

Thanks

T Ruberth

EDIT:
Never mind, I was a little quick to comment. For what it's worth I just run the last working gsmcore and hopefully asavars fix will be implemented into the next update.

eklof · 2019-09-20T06:57:55Z

I'm waiting for this issue to be resolved, and so is all swedish third party ROM users, is there some timeline as to when this can be resolved. A few weeks, month ?

AsavarTzeth · 2019-09-20T10:58:46Z

@eklof

To have it in the official microg, Marvin will need to review the pull request, accept it and then create a new release. Then it will be regularly available.

Like many other community projects it is dependent on free time and unpaid work. It is not uncommon that a project has no timelines.

What I can tell you is that the review itself will likely only take minutes. If there are questions or change requests it could take hours, depending on time zone differences (and again availability of free time).

AsavarTzeth · 2019-09-20T11:17:51Z

@mar-v-in I understand your time is limited but could you please do a quick review of #931? It is a small 2 line fix that would make all Swedish users very happy. We would all very much appreciate it.

osilvab · 2019-09-27T19:20:55Z

Hi, im arriving late to the party. I just installed LOS+microg in my device.
as I understand if I want bankid to work then i should install an older version of gmscore. right?
how do I install that? I couldnt find any system/priv-app folder. Neither couldnt see the app installed in f-droid to chose older versions

thanks for help!

Same for me I downloaded it. It didnt install.

I tried adding the file to /data/app-private but the rom got corrupted and had to format and install again.

vildevilde · 2019-09-28T14:20:13Z

As I understand the work to get the fix in to the app is on the way.

Anyway, as I wrote before my "fix" to get I get around the problem in the mean time by just disable GMSCore in the settings. That make a message in BankId come up that it will not work without Google play service, but just ignore that, tap outside the message square and BankId will work. Maybe this will affect other apps I don't have so many apps.

osilvab · 2019-09-28T18:30:20Z

Thanks @vildevilde. It worked perfectly doing that.
