Yaay now Google is trying to copy IOS little by little with their lame "security restrictions". I just hope that 1 day we will actually be able to have a device running just plain old Linux. (I know Android is based on Linux) I said plain old Linux.
I wonder if the play integrity fix can also handle this? I have it for my rooted phone to keep my banking apps working. I sure hope so!
If an Android program¹ is available elsewhere DRM free, open source, FOSS, etc., go for that instead, even before confirming the presence of this new DRM / social engineering tool in the given program. And if the program itself is not available, look for alternatives. And to make researches a little easier, some APK resources from the top of my head besides F-Droid and Github are Humble Bundle, Itchio, Patreon and potentially any Github alternative.
¹ "app" should never have replaced the name already adopted for no good reason
Why would any non-Google app choose to do this?
