gethvi I just downloaded this version, signed up, and everything is working as expected.
Revolut mobile finance - not supported on devices with custom firmware problem
DeletedUser69 this is a naive and simplistic view. Just because you don't need the app, ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. Yeah sure I can find an alternative but what will we do when there are no more alternatives?
Also, even a local government app that allows me to upload my driving license enfores these checks, and doesn't work on gos. Does that still sound useless to you?
ico That is already the case in Denmark. The MitID app that is essential for everything (it is the government authentication solution) refuses to work in GOS. Without it you can't use any government website, read any digital post, use your card online, nor do any banking, you can't even call the bank to speak to them because you need to authenticate via the app in the process.
At least they offer a dongle. In the other hand Sweden has a similar setup and it is only via app. The moment they turn this on you will be a de facto non-citizen unless you use a blessed phone.
There is no "option" to choose. Usage of some apps are de facto mandatory.
I really wish EU will step in and stop this madness. But I suspect that when they decide to act, it will be too late already.
If it helps, their email for feedback is feedback@revolut.com
I already
wrote an email explaining the whole thing and advising to leave an option for advanced users to use the app with a custom android OS.
I hope they correct themselves.
Although it might be the case that some internal rule (coming from insurance or whatever) is being enforced. In that case, nothing to be done.
Apologies for a brief off-topic diversion.
AlphaElwedritsch health insurance companies are relying solely on the app
I have not heard of this. What does the health insurance app give to the company that makes them decide it is required?

Notafed I gave them a 1-star rating in Google Play. They apparently care very much about their rating, because they answered very quickly and opened a support case and told me to reach them via help@revolut.com with that case number in the subject.
I then sent them an e-mail, said right in the beginning that there's nothing support can do about it, and asked them to relay the feedback to the developers. Then explained the problem and sent the link to GrapheneOS attestation page, and also said that they give me no choice but to look for a different bank. I also said that this would not be a deal breaker if they provided a functioning website.
I suggest that everybody does that. If enough feedback reaches them, then we might have a very slim chance of them changing course. But I honestly don't have any high hopes (or any at all).
lbschenkel Already did too, hope it's not just posing and it truly does something :)
Carlos-Anso idk
If you want to know it, ask Techniker TK, Barmer, for example
I have installed revolut app in a poco x3 NFC from my wife, that as an old version of crDroid ROM + GoogleApps. The installed version of Revolut was 10.56 and I have login into the app with no problems.

I've just received an update to the version 10.56.1.
Does the issue still persist?
Great to hear that others are giving them feedback on this! They also reached out to me after I gave a one-star review on Play Store and wanted me to contact them by emailing help@revolut.com. So if you're a customer and have been locked out of your account because you had to reinstall the app or something, there's a way of contacting them without using the app (I couldn't actually find an email support address on their website).
It's interesting that older versions still work. However, I think a heads-up here is justified: it's not unusual for developers to, after some time, start blocking older app versions from connecting to their servers. Or the older version might stop functioning because they made an update to their identification method or whatever in a newer version, making the older version fail. So I think it's unlikely you'll have access from the older version in the distant future.
krysor I've just received an update to the version 10.56.1.
Does the issue still persist?
Yes. I saw the update today and actually hoped, while it was installing, that they had reverted their decision. But no.
So some here can login, but some can't? I don't want to test myself and get locked out.

As far as I can see in this thread, the only people who's been able to log in have been using an older version of the app, prior to version 10.56.
Would it be too offtopic to ask for some alternatives to Revolut? Europe based and app working (i.e. allowing to sign in) on GrapheneOS. To exchange between European currencies and pay with single use debit cards for shopping. I'd like a free tier as well.
I'm also looking for alternatives. I would gladly pay a bit extra compared to Revolut paid tiers to have an alternative that works without an app, for example. Looking for currency exchange with the lowest fees.
Wise used to be my go-to service, and I like it a lot, but the fees skyrocketed and it would cost me more than 3x the cost of Revolut premium tier.
If the discussion deviates a lot into alternatives to Revolut, might be desirable to create a new topic so you can discuss it in-depth? Might also make the topic more visible to users who can share input but don't care about reading topics on Revolut?
fid02 I would argue that lack of Revolut support for "custom ROMs" until a solution is found is pretty much related to possible alternative services that may even perform better and it should be in one place for quick reference. I agree though that it may turn into a long read like the RCS thread and easily go off the original topic.
On my pixel 7 the app is unsupported in the play store. But via aurora it works
