This surprises me because McDonald's app is hands down the worst app I've ever encountered in the history of all Android apps.
It's is sluggish, ignores touches/taps half the time, doesn't adhere to Android best practices for flow, crashes a lot, errors a lot, etc.
But OK McDonald's. Fuck off.
Well that's bad. I've been using revolut for years now.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a new bank that's operating under european law?
Perhaps WISE? You can use the web page unlike Revolut.
Most banks restrict custom ROM and root access devices for security purposes. Same with MFA apps. I get it. From an IT security perspective, restrictions on software compatibility limit the number of failure points. Even if you find a custom OS that is more secure as an OS, it is installed through opening up your device to security risk and there is no real requirement for you to close up that security risk afterward. My company has made the same choice to restrict supported platforms for our services.
McDonald's app restricting the OS is probably some security decision they made because it's more secure even when they probably don't need it though.
McDonalds? Uber?
They both have fully functioning webapps btw.
Sorry but it seems I might have been mistaken by calling out Uber on this one. Thought i read about Uber during this but I cant find back to it. Have changed the title.
Time to switch away from Auth I guess. Not even using GrapheneOS cause I have a Samsung phone, but this is not acceptable
This sounds like an antitrust legal problem...
The GrapheneOS team is already talking to regulators: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112539378681400395
