Paypal app not available in play store

Ralf401

When I had a look at the Paypal app in the play store, it told me that this app is no longer compatible with my phone and can't be updated. However, the old version of the Paypal app still worked.

Because I wanted to give the new NFC payment feature a try, I uninstalled it and searched for it again. But I can't see it now. Maybe this is related to the new NFC payment feature, they introduced?!

Anyone else having this issue?

No one else or was my post not clear/subpar?

I would like to have a working NFC payment solution on GOS so it is a bit sad for me if Paypal decides to block GOS users.

Anyway, still hoping for another reason which is solvable.

Paypal app is not listed as a possible Wallet app and cannot be selected as preferred app fot nfc payments

Paypal app is requiring Device login (fingerprint in my case) AS WELL AS 2FA for which i need to fire up Aegis and manually copy/paste the code.
I get the impression that the app is not much more than a shell around their website.
I'll probably be uninstalling it soon.

I can't install it also via play store. I use aurora for PayPal and Revolut. Both are unavailable in play store.

Since it works on my Pixel 6 with the current 2025061000 GrapheneOS version, maybe it's related to this?

source: Did you prevent the Google Play services app from performing DCL via memory? It can erroneously detect this as a sign of "tampering" and downgrade your Play Integrity verdict from 'basic' to 'no integrity' because of this. If you did, try allowing it, then clear the cache of Google Play services and reboot.

I had to specifically allow DCL from memory for play services, for it to be active (default mode set to off). Didn't check my integrity status before, though.

I can just install the PayPal app from the Play Store, it's also instantly listed as a wallet option in the NFC settings (but I'm from germany, which as of now seems to be a factor for the latter). Didn't try logging in, as I use another NFC payment app and PayPal only online.
Tried using a german IP address. I don't know if Play Store's restrictions on device integrity can be set for certain areas? Shouldn't be the case.
