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

Webank app works fine (this confirms that apps that do not work do so only due to bad coding).
Trenitalia crashes on startup (X10III with MicroG).

Unicredit bank app
Xperia 10 III - 4.5.0.19
NO MicroG

Works flawlessly (it even receives authorization notifications for credit card online purchases).

MySielteID (SPID app)
Xperia 10 III - 4.5.0.19
NO MicroG

No issue whatsoever.

MLOL Ebook Reader (public library app)
Xperia 10 III - 4.5.0.19
NO MicroG

Best. (Only issue, Firefox uses it to open the .pdfs I download, but that’s something I might have set somewhere).

I use the Fineco app and it works fine without MicroG. The only issue is that I can’t activate the “mobile code” feature.

Let me write these down in a separate post, so I have something to link above.

IO (App dei servizi pubblici)

:x: Used to work, now complains about the Android system being too old (Xperia 10 II, 4.5.0.19 with MicroG).

Tap&Park

:1st_place_medal: Works for me (Xperia 10 II, 4.5.0.19 with MicroG).

Trenitalia

:2nd_place_medal: Occasionally complains about missing Google services but otherwise works fine, including ticket purchases. (Xperia 10 II, 4.5.0.19 with MicroG).

:1st_place_medal: Works flawlessly (Xperia 10 II, 4.5.0.19 with MicroG).

FreeToX (Highway network app)

:x: Used to work fine, but after the last (mandatory) update I get a blank page when trying to log in. (Xperia 10 II, 4.5.0.19 with MicroG).

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.

#14

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.

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