A reminder to leave a negative review for the apps that force you to use google play services or completely don’t work on custom android ROM’s.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart_id This was the app. A lot of banks use it here in Lithuania for logging in, confirming transactions.

    On one hand fuck them for being anti consumer and on the other hand you got cooked.

    I think a better comment would’ve been “required google services to connect meaning google also has to know who I am in order to connect. Please remove the google services requirement so I can use this without google play”

    If it’s possible, you can also lodge a complaint at a relative authority in Lithuania.

      I don’t think you have to, I believe Google play services has an SMS auto verification thingy that can basically do this for you in the background. Google play services needs SMS access for it but…well it has that on stock roms
