🚨
Android Devs: New Feature Could Impact Device Integrity Checks (Especially for Unlocked ROM Users!) 🚨
Google's introducing
destroyAttestationIds(), a method that erases identifiers used to verify device integrity. This could affect how your app checks for tampered devices (wiped data, unlocked bootloader).
Why this matters (especially for unlocked ROMs):
- Unlocked ROM users often modify their devices, including unlocking the bootloader.
- This new method could make it harder for apps to distinguish between legitimate modifications and malicious tampering.
- This could lead to false positives in security checks, potentially blocking access to apps or services.
