The app is open source and available here: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui.&#xA;&#xA;Problem is, the app is planning to include remote attestation feature to verify the integrity of the app: https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#disclaimer. This is supposed to provide assurance to the age verification service that the app being used is authentic and running on a genuine operating system. Genuine in the case of Android means:&#xA;&#xA;• The operating system was licensed by Google&#xA;• The app was downloaded from the Play Store (thus requiring a Google account)&#xA;• Device security checks have passed&#xA;&#xA;While there is value to verify device security, this strongly ties the app to many Google properties and services, because those checks won&#39;t pass on an aftermarket Android OS, even those which increase security significantly like GrapheneOS, because the app plans to use Google &#34;Play Integrity&#34;, which only allows Google licensed systems instead of the standard Android attestation feature to verify systems.&#xA;&#xA;This also means that even though you can compile the app, you won&#39;t be able to use it, because it won&#39;t come from the Play Store and thus the age verification service will reject it.&#xA;&#xA;The issue has been raised here https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/av-app-android-wallet-ui/issues/10 but no response from team members as of now.&#xA;&#xA;In short: You can only be a full citizen of the EU if you accept the ToS from Google. &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
