Revolut mobile finance - not supported on devices with custom firmware problem

Nuttso I don't know if the answer was made by a robot or not, but I'm pretty sure that is a predefined answer: no one will help with this issue...

nat What about edit the APK to remove the DexProtector "integrity" API call then resign the app?

nat You might be onto something here. I have had a look at the logs after installing the app in my work profile (cloned via Shelter), and I do see some similar errors (asking for device_state, ro.debuggable), here's the full logcat of the revolut app: https://gist.github.com/Aquathing/c55de773095d678f464c2ea5a2b29ceb

cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd I assume she searched internally and this is what was presented to her.

I'm not a Revolut user, but I do not subscribe to this Monopoly like approach.
I downloaded the app, checked that it really said that it wouldn't work on my device, and I gave them 1* review on Play.

Moisture I see Revolut answers on Google Play mention GrapheneOS even if the original user review doesn't contain any reference to it :)

Just a naive question about this situation. What about filing complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service and the FCA, for all customers depending on Revolut UK. I don't know about such instances for other countries though. Just mentioning UK as I live in the UK. Because right now, we are locked out of our accounts aren't we? And Revolut UK is FCA regulated.

Update GOS / Revolut to latest version's and report after that, otherwise is not concludent.

spamrisku2jqqrfh the issue is login into the app. The app, if you're already logged in, is working well...
Try logout then login again: you cannot!

Hello!

I am a beta tester and can only write private reviews to the developer of Revolut.

I wrote my review and got the following reply:

Dear Play reviewer,

The following Play review 635045a4-0689-4b3c-b84d-6260229f59fd has been hidden from global view because it was identified through automated internal mechanisms as a violation of our Play Ratings and reviews posting policies:

Since the last update Revolut does not support the security and privacy oriented Android OS called GrapheneOS. Please add GrapheneOS support using the appropriate hardware attestation API and whitelist GrapheneOS according to the guide: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#attestation-compatibility-guide Thank you

Many thanks,

Could anyone help me figure out what to write to not get flagged or what to write in the appeal?

Thanks

skipit Looks like censorship to me

Anyways, I've contacted support again, and this time the answer was different:
Aquatica:
_I asked the other day about the recent update that prevented GrapheneOS users from using the Revolut app. I was assured that the issue will be fixed, but I see online that some support agents are still saying that GrapheneOS is not going to be supported.

This OS is based on Android, it's no different from Samsung OneUI, Xiaomi or whatever other OS based on Android.
The recent update prevents the app from running due to the recent Play Integrity API implementation, which requires the OS to be signed by Google. I was told the team was working on fixing it, but different support channels are saying different things. Can you share some details and if possible an ETA? Thanks._

Revolut
I understand your concern about the compatibility of the Revolut app with GrapheneOS and the Play Integrity API. We have already forwarded your feedback to the team, they will surely look into this matter for you.

Aquatica
_I understand, but I'm looking for a more in-depth answer.

A lot of users have reported this to Revolut, and all of them have received different answers, even myself right now. First, I get told that they are working on it, now it's a forwarded feedback. What exacty is going on here?_

Revolut
I understand the confusion caused by receiving different responses. Our team is currently reviewing the details and I recommend keeping an eye on official Revolut communications, such as updates on the Revolut website or app store listings, for any announcements regarding app compatibility with different operating systems.

Aquatica
No ETAs, right?

Revolut
Unfortunately, I don't have any specific ETAs or updates regarding this issue at the moment.

Aquatica
_Honestly it's frustrating to get told that I should check social media to find out when I'll be able to use my app without issues.

If I log out now, I won't be able to login anymore, this is bad._

Revolut
I understand your frustration, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Your feedback is valuable, and I'll ensure it's passed on to the relevant teams. Thank you for your patience.

I also wrote a negative review after this (and rated the support experience the lowest score), but have yet to receive a reply.

The idea that a banking app can block a certain group of it users from access to most of its services is a serious issue.

I am glad to see that the community is coming together to work against such a change. I hope that this issue will be overcome quickly and I that we can get as many people in contact with their support team as possible.

skipit It was probably caught by an automated filter and flagged as an ad. You could try appealing the blockage like the email says. Another user's post was flagged but they appealed and it was allowed after a human reviewed it.

In general, the sentence "does not support" might benefit from being replaced by something akin to "started blocking being used on Pixel devices that are running GrapheneOS". Strictly speaking Revolut has never "supported" GrapheneOS, which is what their support staff keep repeating, but it has never outright blocked it until now.

Also, pretty sure that you can leave the beta temporarily, reopen Play Store, post a review that is then made public, then rejoin the beta.

I have posted a 1-star review with my complaints as well. Let's keep pushing this and hopefully they will revert the decision.

However I think this will just gain us some time. Imo the permanent solution would be developing cryptocurrencies to the point were they are actually usable for daily lives. This instance with Revolut just highlights how easy it is for banks to block your money if they don't agree with something you are doing. We need truly free money.

In the same boat as you...
The answer I got from an human representative (not a *** chatbot):

Thank you for the information. Revolut does not accept devices with custom firmware, such as GrapheneOS, which is likely why you're experiencing this issue. I recommend trying to access your Revolut account from a device with a standard Android operating system that is not running custom firmware. You can also try logging in using your email or phone number associated with your Revolut account on a compatible device.
