So there's a chance that GrapheneOS will be supported. I mean, we can still decompile the app, modify it and then repackage it. Or someone will make a patcher app.
I would love to be wrong about this, but I don't think it's likely. Why would a government voluntarily spend money on making the app work for a minority of people running a privacy OS that politicians associate with criminals and gangsters?
Also, it's not like the wallet app will actually be open source in the traditional sense where you can fork and compile it yourself, so I think getting any decent version of it seems like a long shot
Graphene will likely ignore the EU, as will most Linux distros having no EU connections. Graphene's very picky about hardware, which is why they stick with the Pixel, but anyone with the cash can pay an OEM to make a phone to their specs and install whatever Android or Linux mobile variant they want, then make 1000 or 10,000 of them to sell.
I would expect it must be open source, so I don't known why you'd decompile it
Unfortunately not, the wallet app must have source code available except for parts deemed too sensitive, which are exempt
Because some member states argue that their implementation is better when proprietary. Also if you'll want to build the app yourself, you'll need the required certs.

I think the when available part is key.
