I am sorry for beeing inpolite but I do not believe a single word you say.
That maybe because I am one of T.H.E.M. or a mindless minion of the $SomeConspiracy.
Guys, this discussion is seriously heading towards paranoid blabla.

We should stop discussing OT here. In science there are facts, there are conclusions and there are opinions. Facts should be checked, conclusions should be analysed and an opinion you may follow or not ā¦ Just saying someone is wrong simply is - ok, letās say - childish. This discussion over here is fruitless and it is the wrong place (In a different style and a different forum such discussion may be helpful, though)

If you need the green Covid Pass QR code on your phone, the Swiss Covid Certificate app works fine (the application is open source and works with EU certificates despite the description saying itās limited to Switzerland).

The certification section of Tous Anti-COVID (France) works fine offline. The Bluetooth bit fails gracefully.
The Verif(y) app probably phones home. It will verify/invalidate whilst offline but requires a connection upon startup. It doesnāt ask for your business information but probably uses IP-based location. Both seem quality software IMHO.
The QR code contains your name and DoB, your last vaccination date and probably how many jabs you had and vaccine type.
Since the user app doesnāt need to phone home, a screenshot will save you starting up Dalvik. Paper is apparently also fine at the moment.

This is what I do. And carry my who passport.
Has anyone managed to install the NHS App via the Aurora store? I canāt find it in the list when I do a search (I donāt have a google account, so I use the generic one). Or is there any other way to get onto a Sailfish device? I have an XA2 Ultra, so am on a decent android version.
For the German Covpass App they used some form of geoblocking, this was the work around:

Maybe for the NHS it is the same?

Maybe itās the same as for the German app: That is only available from a German account and/or from a German IP address.
As Aurora uses a fake and random user ID that is probably not registered to your country and hence not visible. It happens to me as well, even if I login with my Google account, that is bound to a German phone number.
Finally I got it from APKPure

Anyone who hasnāt tried it should install @slava 's barcode app and scan the EU certificate code. It showās everything it can/should. I show it to bouncers just to confuse them. Since Iām a Canadian in Germany they get even more confused. evil, I know.

@davidrasch Thanks that would make some sense, though itās annoying that some countries do that.
@jollajo Thanks, Iāll try APKPure.
@poetaster Iāll look into that too.
Thanks all.
If you have installed fdroid, you can find the CovPass app there. I even think itās the original one

Thanks, I got it from someone elseās phone using APK Extractor, in the end.
Yes, Iāve seen the same behaviour. I think we can get the pdf from the website though.
Can we get rid of the anti-vax ranting over here? @jovirkku, anyone? This thread is discussing about the app, not the purpose of covid pass.

As to the contact tracing, that was, if I remember correctly Apple / Google only because of some changes to the bluetooth stack?
EDIT: it appears there is a microg implementation of the Exposure Notification Framework so I guess that this should include tracing: Corona Contact Tracing Germany | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
From the sentiments here, it sounds like that isnāt the case. Has someone tried debuging the open version?
EDIT2: I should have read to the bottom first:
Does CCTG run on Sailfish devices?
Yes, BUT with one important caveat: Apps running via the Sailfish Android compatibility layer canāt access the devices Bluetooth functionality so the core contact tracing functionality wonāt work. All other functionality like check-ins, contact diary, receiving test results and saving vaccination certificates is available though.
Weāve also heard people successfully use the Sailfish native app Contrac for the contact tracing functionality.
