Dreaming about this since more than a decade. My issues are banking apps, health related apps and basically anything somewhat official. A lot of them won't even work on a rooted Android device. How are things looking in that regard with Linux phone projects?
I'm not really sure the state of things, but what if Linux phones containerized Android apps so they'd appear to be on a non-rooted device?
The GAPPS image on WayDroid is pretty alright. I'm using it on my Linux desktop to play some mobile games. I understand it should be able to support MS Authenticator. But getting the camera to work is pretty hacky so certain functions don't work for me yet.
