Apple and Google will gladly erase the works of developers to chase profits.

In my country we use an app to identify ourselves online but also in a shop, e.g. when picking up packages. It is called BankID.

Is this norway or are there other countries with the same system / same name for the same kinda thing?

Anyway in norway i have never ever been asked to use bankid for any other purpose than banking, payments or any kind of official service online. And i have a physical token that i received only 3-4 weeks ago so i dont need a smartphone for that.

Btw bankid for mobile works fine on custom roms, ive been using that for a long time. I wonder if it would work on waydroid?

Sweden. So the use of it is probably different.

And I know it would work right now on Graphene, but that does not guarantee it will in the next years still. If there is no official stance on it, apps like this can break anytime something major gets updated.
