Revolut will not work Untill you receive a notification from aurora that Revolut is installed successfully.
Revolut mobile finance - not supported on devices with custom firmware problem
Is it possible to somehow install a previous working version? I've tried apkpure, aptoid, apkmirror and uptodown but I always run into errors.
Guys, thank you very very much for your feedback
amazing community
I am also going to send a formal complaint to revolut
I lost access cause I log out from the app and deleted the user holding the revolut app ( was in need of reorganizing users )
Process I was following: 1 create a new user, 2 install the mirrors provided by graphene apps of play services and play store, 3 install froid or droidify, 4 get aurora, 5 install revolut.
Something weird is happening now when I try to install aurora from droidify, is never getting installed, or at least, if the package is installed, is never displayed any icon to execute it in a reasonable time, so will try to let the system cook it for some time and check.
It seems Fdroid is providing a better installation of aurora at this moment than droidify, is straightforward installation.
The same was happening with aurora to install revolut, and already read a mate here that is recommending to just wait until aurora gives the notification that its installed, otherwise it seems we are interrupting the installation ( I will try that )
So far with the new update to the specified below, still not working
com.revolut.revolut
version 10.56.1
versionCode 1005604910
will test this thing of letting the installers work for few minutes just to see if that waiting time makes a difference.
thank you everyone for your time again,
Please, any can share the complaint email sent to revolut (removing personal data, ofc)?

I got a response from Revolut, more accurately stated as an acknowledgement that they have forwarded my complaint:

Yes, that is what everybody thinks when they hear "Play Integrity"...

Update:
The issue was that I needed to first remove the Revolut app in the Owner profile.
After I did that, I installed the older version 10.54 using apkmirror on my Private Space, managed to login and later updated it using the sandboxed PlayStore in the Private Space. The latest uptodate app now works without any issue.
Hope that helps anyone looking for a workaround.
I have been struggling to deal with Aurora and its installation prior to install revolut from it
from installation error conflict with another package that is the same (despite it was a fresh new user evironment)
problems downloading the revolut apk prior to installation
problem when installing revolut app, saying that apk is corrupt
on any circumstance, even if I am waiting long time letting Aurora to install, the Revolut app is showing same.
I will start revolut from a crappy phone have hanging arround home, and will send the complaint
will give the bank a certain time to turn on this, if they do not change, will close the account and will find another solution
rigel24 Have you tried installing Revolut from the play store ? And not from other repositories ?
musicainbasso
actually not, I havent
I dont have a google account for years... I dont even know how to log in or iniciate the thing...
rigel24 Then try to create it. maybe the problem is just that and that's it.
rigel24 how close the account it cannot login it? 🤔😇😂
cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd You can't, and I even mentioned this in my complaint to them.
rigel24 I wanted to move Revolut from my Owner profile to the Private Space.
The issue was that, because I didn't uninstall Revolut on the Owner profile first, I couldn't install an older version on the Private Space, since android requires that apps with the same ID on multiple profiles need to be at the same version.
So I uninstalled the up to date one on the Owner profile (the one that has the issue mentioned in this thread) and installed an older version using apkmirror.com.
Versions older than 10.56 don't have this "custom firmware restriction", and if you are already logged in, you can still use the latest revolut version on GrapheneOS..
So I logged in using revolut 10.54 installed through apkmirror inside the Private Space and after that, I updated the app using the Play Store. Everything works.
604959zd yes, is a know workaround, but for sure it doesn't work forever
10.56.2 just got released. Still no difference?
krysor not on my side with 10.56.2: still working on the profile where I already was logged in but NOT working on a separate profile where I am trying to setup the app ("custom firmware restriction" error message during login).

Still no dice.
On the note of contacting Revolut, it appears that their Play Store responses are quickly dismissing reports which solely complain that the app is blocking custom Android OSs. Reports which describe GrapheneOS are getting actual engagement, in the sense that they want to contact the reporter and open a ticket. So it's desirable if people describe to them why the message about the OS being blocked for safety reasons should not apply to GrapheneOS because of its considerable security features compared to other Android OSs out there. I suspect that Revolut support has been instructed to simply reject reports that complain about "custom OSs" being blocked, while regarding GrapheneOS they might be more unclear on whether the blocking is a mistake or not, so they're actually forwarding our feedback to the developers.
I actually think using the term "custom OS" is not even correct in the context, so I don't think we are hiding anything by not using the term: simply being an alternative OS to larger Android-based OSs does not make it more "custom" than, say, Google's stock PixelOS.
A review where Revolut dismisses a report, and reveals that the blocking is due to trying to fulfill some certification:
I love revolut and been a customer for 5-6 years. But all of the sudden, they decided to stop letting custom Android OS users use the app. This means not being able to use this bank, as everything relies exclusively on this app. I hope they change their mind about this, because it's not helping anyone, specially loyal customers.
Revolut response:
We understand that this decision is not ideal and that it affected some of our customers. However, to certify our security protocols and that our app functions as intended we had to take this difficult decision. We sorry this affected you and understand your decision not use our services through the currently supported OSs.
