It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

I did a small amount of research and found that people were getting Swedish id and banking working out of the box a few years ago at least. 

I know this doesn't answer your question on the play integrity API hacking but AFAIK they use a proprietary android layer based on LXC.

To me it feels dodgy and android changes could probably kill your banking capabilities on a whim so I'd be careful to use it as a daily driver.

    that sounds fun! as I know, in my (least european) country if you start using the gov app for the gov portal authentication, you can't go back to the other method.

    but do I understand it correctly that you say e/OS uses an LXC containerized google package of something?
