For info, what could have helped for now, I looked on the Aurora Store and the France Identity app is noted (Plexus) as having a low level of compatibility with de-Googled devices (could be Volla phones using volla OS) using the micro G project.

" Il est également interdit d’utiliser l’application France identité sur un ordiphone Rooté ou Jailbreaké."
“It is also prohibited to use the France Identité app on a rooted or jailbroken smartphone.”

I guess it currently does not work on rooted Android, and on custom Roms, and obviously on Waydroid.

@pparent This should partially work with Micro G as mentioned under plexus, but it's vague. And already, if the app was 100% compatible with Micro G, it would be useful.

Hello.
I was wondering if the UBports Foundation could contact one of the members of the European Parliament mentioned in this article to discuss a survival strategy...
(sorry, it's in French...
)

Well I'm not sure but given what I have published above, It could mean that it can only work by design on an un-compromised google certified devices ( I've read that there exists so-called technologies as "Android hardware-backed keystore" and "Trusted Execution Environment" , could the app possibly rely on that? ). So maybe it's not working with microG because they don't want it to, because they want the app to run only on a so-called "safe envieronement" provided by google.

so-called "safe envieronement
We can say that ! Because if you read all the precautions they take concerning the app, it's a bit like the instructions for a medication: once you've read it, you no longer want to take the medication at all!

This kind of stuff is happening more and more. Even apps like the ChatGPT app for Android require "Play Integrity." It's an API that needs to be made illegal, and a lot of national apps are relying on it too. For example, the Icelandic app Auðkenni used to work without it, but now your device has to be "secure" in order to use the app. Thankfully, in that case, there is an alternative method of authentication using SIM Toolkit.
MicroG is able to execute SafetyNet/Play Integrity, but the device has to have the bootloader locked and a bunch of other stuff. And depending on level of attestation required by the app, it may or may not actually run.

Hello,
Did anyone get any reply from contact@france-identite.gouv.fr ?
I am thinking it should be studied the possibility of filing a complaint with the "Defenseur des droits", because I think there are various things about that app that probably do not respect the legislation, given that it is only available for Google and Apple.
Any thought on that?

@pparent . Not directly about your question but do you know https://uattest.net/ , very nice Volla initiative. As you are a developper who offers great job and apps, this may interest you
