OCBC Bank locks out mobile app if 3rd party apps are detected - Lemmy.world

How are they managing to do this? Surely it requires a permission in Android to access the list of installed apps, right?
It’s a default permission which can’t be revoked.
Wow that seems like a strange permission to have as default. It doesn’t seem like very many apps have a legitimate need for listing other installed apps unless I’m missing something.

Google puts limits on which apps can see what’s installed on an Android device Only antivirus programs, file managers and similar will be able to see other apps on a user’s device.
