Dugite-Code is one of my internet Pseudonym's.

I am interested in Art, Technology and "Hacking" things to work how they should. If I can create something it makes me feel fulfilled to do so.

Good to see a POC that shows how useless security-wise is the Play Integrity:

Android LPE using DRAM bitflip => https://bsky.app/profile/retr0.id/post/3mljtyauw322d

A requirement to get any security protection with the Play Integrity is that attackers can't bypass it on any device.

As soon as an attacker can bypass it, it is possible to distribute app clones (fake banking app) that proxy-pass the Integrity requests to a controlled device, defeating the Play Integrity.

On the other side, how many users are locked-out of critical services because of the Play Integrity? For legit users, any non-trivial workaround is a blocker.

Play Integrity is not about security, but about coercition, Google's tool to impose their conditions: eg. forcing OEM to preinstall their apps, some with privileges (Chrome, Youtube, Play Services, etc)

Data center used 30 million gallons of water without initially paying
Can AI save us from the AI industry’s endless thirst for water? Outlook not so good.

Remember? "Sideloading" is here to stay, and won't go away, they said? Don't be afraid, they said? Something something "we heard you"? Suuuure! Who would ever doubt it!

Attached the copy of a mail developers with apps in the PlayStore CURRENTLY receive. Please, read the text in the red box carefully:

"Apps not registered by September 2026 WILL NO LONGER BE INSTALLABLE ON CERTIFIED ANDROID DEVICES in select countries."

See an exception there? I don't.

Day 4. A response, finally. The usual clown message: Review failed. Well, the "clown message" is the one in the attached graphic: They don't know themselves. Something something link, but they don't know which. Or, in other words: "These URLs host malware or unwanted software downloads: None". 🤦‍♂️

If that's how reliable their services are, maybe they should NOT hold the keys to the entire Internet (and app stores)? 🤔

@gloriouscow @thias here's my tip:

Paste the labels on the *inside* of the box. They don't strip off, never get lost.

too little, too late for me. I've moved off windows on my personal machines to linux for good now. It's unlikely I'll ever go back

The 20 app limit for personal apps shows how ill thought out this all is. CICD pipelines make this trivial to bypass for scammers while only impacting legitimate users
