Thanks for the heads up, I have 10105 installed. I hope it stays functional :anxious_face_with_sweat: I don’t know.. Would there be a way to install an older version (I’m still learning the systems)

Also noticing an error with pressing any button in the app, it just crashes

In Aurora store, once you click on an app (OP-mobile for instance), click on top right 3 dots and choose “Manual download”. There you can change the version code.

Okay, then it must be something else. For me the version 84.0.0 seems to be working still.

On Xperia10 / 5.0.0.62, CaixaBankNow doesn’t work. It reports:
(Caixa Logo)
App not available
Huawei devices with HMS cannot access CaixaBankNow app.
Access CaixaBankNow from an Android mobile with Google, an iPhone or a PC.

Any ideas?
It’s no joke, there was written ‘Huawei’, but it’s a Xperia 10!

edit: I have set the information in /etc/machine-info to PRETTY_HOSTNAME=“Bastel”
Can this affect something?

You should read this as “without a proprietary Google firmware”. Huawei is the most popular phone without Google firmware hence they use “Huawei” as synonym of a phone without Google crap.

We have a Jolla-internal bug about the same problem, reported by one of our engineers.

Is this only on C2 or also the Sony’s? (especially X10?)

Hi, for the record I have Norwegian bankid running without anything special and vipps running on my Xperia 10 IV with MicroG.
I just selected all the options in microG and Vipps runs. The DNB app doesn’t work but I can open the webpage without a problem

Looking at the comments on Play Store, OP is copypasting the same mantra about cybercrime even to owners of legit Android phones. That’s so bad I don’t know if I even wanna get a cheap Android backup phone, if there’s a risk to it.

Do you think this is a solvable problem or have they invented something that cannot be spoofed?

PS. What a load of dog shit that the ID mechanism is in the same app. If it were not, we could ignore the big app and use a browser instead. Probably way more resilient against cybercrime than whatever the hell this is. Hope I have my paper logins somewhere

This is some very serious PII in this topic, users and what bank they use, just for all your consideration if that should be available to all the webcrawlers.

TBF I don’t think anyone discerned between personal and business customerships.

It’s also not an uncommon default that people have accounts in multiple banks, so you could just spear-phish your victim at every bank until you get lucky.

Way more important that the apps work.

If you don’t want cybercrime don’t use a mobile phone for accessing important services, mobile phones/OS from all manufacturers (including SFOS) are far worse security targets than up-to-date computers, if they are up-to-date at all.

 which translates to: If you live in Portugal, move to another country

Hard disagree, phones are just far more insecure than computers in a large part due to the hardware vendors using binary blobs that only work with specific kernels and other drivers in the stack and just like that even though you are using SFOS 5 which was released not too long ago (or Android X/iOS X) you still have a ton of insecure/unpatched software running on your device and often insufficient sandboxing between apps increasing the chance that your phone will be your compromise vector.

Of course computers when maintained badly can be just as bad or worse but all in all if you keep your computer up to date and don’t do dumb things it seems to me that it would be worlds more secure than your average phone.

Thus if you have a choice you should not bank on your phone.

And with that I will stop taking this topic any further OT.

From now on, CrĂ©dit Mutuel (Fr) will stop in few weeks double authentication by sms, and only the bank’s own application will allow this double authentication, which is necessary for all operations, including simply consulting one’s account on a computer! The last time I tried to install the CrĂ©dit Mutuel application, it crashed immediately on opening. Have any of you tried to install this application? What was your experience? Without a micro G? With microG?
Thanks a lot!

DeepL.com (free version) help me :wink:

For the ptrace_scope a value of “2” might also work, while keeping things somewhat restrictive.

At least for the paypal app both “0” and “2” work around a crash on startup.
