Danish MitID should start working again Monday 7th

randomnobody

This week the MitID app started reporting GrapheneOS phones as jailbroken.

I have contacted the developers, they confirmed this as an error in the last update. They are deploying a fix Monday, and it should again be possible to use GrapheneOS.

That is excellent news, thanks for sharing. However, I won't let this kind of issue catch me off guard again, so I've ordered a couple MitID Code Display units. This kind of digital control no one asked for (except those in power) makes you want to move to a different country altogether.

Fox For which actions is the app needed in Denmark?

After reinstaling the APP and setting again the user the app worked. I did a test and removed all the google play store services. MIT Id have worked, no issue ,nem id did not want to start saying app needs play services etc.
I did restarted the phone and after the reset mitid did not worked. "Device is rooted".
After installing the play services etc as it was before the app still did not worked.
I had to once more reinstall the app to make it work.
It works now and we will see for how long.
I would not be surprise if it stops working after new update of the system or even without any reason as it was the case before.

Grkrz I'm having the same issues.

I tried turning off mac randomization, and I was able to reboot the phone without having to reinstall.

randomnobody

Okay, changing the settings didn't do anything, just took 4 tries before it locked the app.

wonder75 for banking, doctors etc., basicaly without this app you cannot "exist" in Denmark.

I contacted their support and informed them the issue wasn't fixed.

The reply I got was that they have not yet deployed the fix, and there is no timeline for when the fix will be deployed.

Their advice was to keep trying the app after updates to see if the issue is fixed.

It didn't give me the impression that they are fixing the issue anytime soon.

Grkrz

randomnobody that things happen when government is responsible for doing things that nobody needs... But yes, will see how it goes.

victor

randomnobody Is there any update on this? Do you know if they have fixed the app?

Grkrz

victor I don't think so it is working

Grkrz What do you mean by that?

"for banking, doctors etc., basicaly without this app you cannot "exist" in Denmark."

victor

Grkrz I am not sure i understand your comment. Do you mean that there is no update but the app is working? or do you mean that the app isn't working? (:

Grkrz

victor the app got an update but after the update the app still crashed (did not worked). I did not try later on because you have to go the whole process with registration of new "smartphone". I am pretty sure the app do not work. If you check and it is working please let us know.

Grkrz hi, im danish 2. Im thinking about getting GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7, and was wondering if you knew what apps worked and what apps wouldn't. Here im talking about common apps like nemid, mobilepay, nordea netbank etc.

Thanks!

john34 There's a community resource for bank app compatibility with GrapheneOS. It seems all 3 you mentioned are already there. :)

Grkrz Do you think MidId is gonna work again? Did you write to the devs about the issue, and is there anything that can be done?
