Tell HN: PayPal Blocks GrapheneOS

14•leumon•1h ago
It seems like the PayPal app now refuses to run on GrapheneOS. I don't know if it's only because I have enabled the PayPal card for contacless NFC payments, but when opening the app it crashes with the following exception: com.paypal.oslo.app.rasp.RootDetectionSecurityException: Security policy violation: s=root

"RootDetectionSecurityException" .. there's your answer ... it doesnt't want to run on "rooted" devices.
leumon•1h ago
Well I haven't rooted my device. It's just normal grapheneos

With or without Google Play Services running?
leumon•24m ago
With. But disabling "Secure app spawning" seems to fix it for now.

Update: it seems to work when disabling "secure app spawning" (for now)

Switched to Wero and haven't looked back.

I see this happen from time to time. Lately, almost all of the apps work fine on GrapheneOS. The best strategy is to keep writing the business once every two or so weeks that you can’t log in to and use the app. Don’t go too technical at first, because most of the time, the moment they hear things like “rooted” or “unofficial,” they just say your phone is the issue. To date, I was able to convince, or at least contribute to, making three apps work on GOS.
