Pixel 7 Pro: Vivino is the only app that won't load

klepto

I've had a couple that needed the exploit protection compat turned on to function, but otherwise it has been a great experience for me. When I use the app Vivino, it has a red screen and it stays there and never even tries to access the network. Can someone install it and see if it works for you.

Thanks!!

Enable native code debugging in Settings > Security. The app will then launch fine, and you'll get to the log in screen.

treequell Thank you so much!! It works just like it should now. I need to track my wino tendencies, but can you tell me why that worked?

Many of these apps have their own crude anti-tampering mechanisms trying to prevent inspecting or modifying the app in a weak attempt to hide their code and API from security researchers. GrapheneOS allows users to disable native code debugging via a toggle in Settings ➔ Security to improve the app sandbox and this can interfere with apps debugging their own code to add a barrier to analyzing the app. You should try enabling this again if you've disabled it and are encountering compatibility issues with these kinds of apps.

The section is about banking apps, since they're mostly the ones to employ such measures, but it doesn't just apply to banking apps. This is also the reason why native code debugging is enabled by default.
