What does Google’s “Binary Transparency” for its apps mean for microG?

I do think we’re going towards a larger integrity and attestation system that gradually makes unofficial replacements harder to use and it’s definitely intentional, and developers of banking apps, DRM and the like will probably build on this. > Will we eventually see apps refuse to run if they detect microG instead of official Google Play Services? microG isn’t really trying to fake being an “official Google binary” in the first place. It’s basically a clean-room replacement for parts of Google Play Services, and app developers already have a bunch of ways to tell when they’re not talking to the real thing if they care enough to check. As far as my experience goes, most apps rely only on whether Play Services works and don’t actively police the environment, but the apps that are already annoying on this front will only become more annoying.
