  • In Obtaining GSF ID for Google Play Protect Certification

    Cadmuim "certify" their device by providing their GSF ID here (g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration)

    It doesn't work.

    Peeto I can't find gsf to even install it but people on the forum say it's necessary for apps to function.

    No, it's not necessary. You just need Google Play Services and Play Store if your app requires Google Play.

        I wish there was a way as easy as this. I think if this would work there would be more talk about it.

        But frankly I don't know. Maybe someone else does.

          Custom OSes are not ROMs, this is a wrong term.

          Aside from that, I don't think that you can do this. The general issue with Play Integrity is that there is no way around it. I have never heard that you could just register your device and I don't really see where this would make sense for Google to allow.

              This is due to Play Integrity. Google deliberately makes custom OSes unable to pass this, so GOS cannot become certified. There is nothing you can do about this at the moment. This is not an issue with GOS or one GOS can fix, but an issue with Googles monopoly and entirely their fault.

              Play Integrity is being marketed as a security feature while absolutely not being one in the slightest bit. It only permits devices with stock OS that license GMS and bundle the prilveged Google Play Services. It also allows those even if they are EOL and without updates for 10 years. If it really would be about security, it would require regular updates, supported devices and obviously would permit GOS.
              Play Integrity is merely a tool for Googles monopoly.
