Pizza, Jolla e Mandolino: the Italy-related Android apps thread

Applications
#9

The morons developing it added some kind of security requiring some kind of feature only present in very latest Androids. Nice work for an app that should be used by everyone.

Aren’t we having android 11 from xa2 and up?isn’t that enough?

anyway there should be a way to recompile apps for old androids

Oh and by the way, shouldn’t a post called “jolla pizza and mandolino” be in italian? :stuck_out_tongue:

#11

Yes, I have Android 11 on my 10 II and it is not enough. Maybe the issue is security patches? The FAQ doesn’t tell exactly what the problem is, it contains only buzzwords (“IO has started using a technology that makes it even more secure but is not compatible with older devices”).
And, as Jameson notes, this is particularly stupid in an app that is used, among other things, to apply for certain tax bonuses for low-income citizens.

As much as i agree with you (100%) i doubt we will see some low income citizen spendig 49€ for a sailfish licence :stuck_out_tongue:

#13

True, but I imagine the issue is not Sailfish-specific, since it is mentioned also in the FAQs on their website. If Android 11 is not good enough then they’re asking low-income citizens to spend 100 € or more for a very recent phone.

I have flashed android 9 on my i4113 and got Io working so it is surely some security layer missing or not working on our end.
I want to thank for the creation of this thread, and will to add another broken app. Subito app. Not login possible. Both with or without microG

#15

I’ve not MicroG but Google Play Services installed and I’m able to use the Fineco mobile code feature.

#16

With Google Play Services works:

  • PosteID
  • INPS Mobile
  • BPPB Privati
  • BPER Banca
  • BPER Card
  • MyTIM
  • Enel Energia

With Google Play Services doesn’t work:

  • AQPf@acile (can’t login, the login popup disappears and nothing happens)
#17

Good to know, thanks for correcting me. I wonder what the problem is then; maybe SafetyNet?

According to microG reporting, it says that SafetyNet is definitely not passing on Sailfish. Maybe’s that.
I want to make an update regarding Intesa San Paolo app: I’ve downgraded to SFOS 4.4 and it’s not crashing. I’ll try to update via OTA and report if maybe it is still working, but guessing it’s an issue of the new android version.
Edit: can confirm that after updating 4.5 intesa doesn’t work

#19

With Google Play Services:

  • Subito.it works well and it’s possible the login
#20

Thanks to user Fabio I get a bit more practical and got installed Google services on 4.5 on my Xperia 10. With this intesa works downloaded from the the Google play.

Thanks!
For the non-Italian readers: that’s an Italian mobile network operator, what were you thinking?

#23

Would you like a scwheppes just me and you?

Scwheppes, what were you thinking?

#24

A fun report: Junker app, the one for rycling that’s useful, works ok with MicroG, but doesn’t with the actual google services!

@fph When you report “Works with Google Services”, what did you do to get the Google Services into the SailfishOS Android runtime?
(was it e.g. with nemishkor’s installgapps.sh?)

#26

I don’t have Google Services installed myself. Those are just reports from the experience of other users; follow the link to see their original posts.

#27

Salgo app (tickets and bus stops infos) doesn’t report the position, and actually, it doesn’t work with GMS installed (via script). But YES with MicroG setup.
Intesa San Paolo latest version works PERFECT with GMS installed but has issues with MicroG (security reports not clean ROM)
Junker app (for recycling) shows an empty map ( error xamarin.forms.googlemaps) with GMS but works with MicroG.
Google Maps works perfect with GMS and MICROg but on GMS cannot locate you…
Well… what a mess :smiley:

#28

If you want to locate you in Google Maps I did this steps:

  • Enable GPS
  • Open Google Maps and then close it
  • Open Pure Maps on Sailfish OS and wait until it can locate you, then close it
  • Open Google Maps again and tap to the finder icon in order to locate you

For me this (odd) trick worked.
