Problem with Banking Apps

Apps & Core Settings
1

I am very happy with my Samsung Tablet and preinstalled iode 7.3 … :blush:

But unfortunately I get none of my banking apps (Wero, IngDiba, SecureApp) working :roll_eyes:

First I tried to install them in the Private Space in order to isolate the “bad” apps from Aurora Store from the “good” ones.

Second I disabled the iode Blocker for these Apps - still not working.

Third I tried with WiFi (may my PI-hole iin my local network blocked?) and also with the LTE network - no way.

The problem is always that from some point on the app is simply not reacting and running into a timeout. Cleaning Cache etc. did not help either.

Questions:

  • Running these Apps in Android’s Private Space is not recommended with iode?
  • It can be a problem with missing Google Play Services?
  • Where can I find documentation of iode Blocker?
  • Where can I find help with configuring MIcroG properly if really needed?

I did not want to mess up the Table with “working” Apps in thhis forum - that’s why I am starting this thread - hoping to get some new ideas …

SCNR: With GraphenOS banking apps are fine :winking_face_with_tongue:

I would be quite certain you need microG for device attestation and Google device registration. Banking apps don’t typically acknowledge that you can be secure without those :frowning: But as you note, even still several banking apps may not work (but many do). In general, you can use Plexus from F-Droid to check your specific apps, but I looked them up for you:

  • Wero: I see a “Gold” rating from just a few weeks ago with microG (Shiftphone stock OS but they note it is microG is that true?) Many of the “broken” are with LineageOS not sure if they have microG device spoofing enabled like with iodéOS so I guess it would take re-testing?
  • IngDiba: “Gold” rating
  • SecureApp: Maybe you mean “SecureGo+”? If so I see mixed “Gold” rating or maybe “Silver”?

Personally, I run my banking apps in Shelter so I can “freeze” them when not being used to ensure not just running all the time and so they don’t have access to my main profile. There are many threads here on that.

To iodé blocker documentation, here you go:
Graphical front end: iodé app - iodé
Technical back end: iodé Adblocker (The iodé Blocker) - iodé
