App thinks phone is rooted

Thanks to your answer I tried again and reinstalled it. It detects root again, but now there was the Button "auf eigene Gefahr fortfahren" = "Proceed at your own risk" and registration was possible.
Thank you!

@dkn I think the root detection is not only not working for graphene os. My partner has a oneplus 6 with android 11, no root but still detects it. Is the dev team aware? Looking at the comments on play store, quite some people are annoyed. While it was working last year, they can not use it this year anymore for filling out taxes.

This is the closing reply from BIT (Bundesamt für Informatik und Telekommunikation):

Zurzeit ist GrapheneOS für die AGOV access App noch nicht zugelassen.
Die Schweizerische Bundeskanzlei hat dem Lieferanten die Freischaltung von GrapheneOS in Auftrag gegeben. Es konnte noch kein Lieferdatum festgelegt werden.

2.9 Wird GraphaneOS von der AGOV access App unterstützt?

Wir empfehlen daher alternativ auf einen physischen FIDO Token auszuweichen oder auf ein unterstütztes Gerät gem. FAQ 1.7

Thank you! For me the workaround of temporarily disabling Secure app spawning for the few times that I need the AGOV access app works fine.

Plethora9278

Joe22graph Can you explain how this workaround goes?

Joe22graph

Sure - after installing AGOV access app I went to Settings - Security & Privacy - Exploit protection - Secure app spawing (at the bottom, last item), which is enabled by default, and toggle "Use secure app spawning" to disabled. Then confirm the required Restart.
AGOV access app is running fine now, no error messages. Hope this works for you too (I am on a Pixel 6a)

Joe22graph Thanks for the details. I'll try it after filing the taxes for 2025 - don't want to get stuck in not having the AGOV app working neither on my old, nor on my new phone!

Using AGOV on my new Pixel 9a (and new to GOS as well), I'm running into the following problem: I can disable secure app spawning to make AGOV work, embed my account, verify etc., but then I enable secure app spawning again (because it's better having it activated and you don't need AGOV very often) and when I want to use AGOV at a later point and therefore disable secure app spawning again, all my accounts in AGOV are gone and I have to start over. Means to me, that I need a 2nd device that let's me use AGOV reliably - or: you need to disable secure app spawning contstantly or otherwise you're not really able to use AGOV with GOS.
Can someone confirm?

mademoisellemabry I think there's nothing else that can be done, you described the 2 possible options.

I issued a new support ticket with AGOV to see if they have a release date. Will post any news here.

In my case, I still have my old Fairphone 3 with Standard Google and AGOV, but as software support for Android 13 is ending I think AGOV will stop working at some point rather sooner than later.

Come December, the new Suisse E-ID should become available and will have its own wallet app, "swiyu" (see https://www.agov.admin.ch/de/agov-mit-eid). I hope they build it GOS compatible out of the box... Any thoughts on that development?
