Android as a platform is dead
We need Linux phones yesterday
Not just hsbc lots of safenet settings have a blacklist of apps they won’t run with …
It can be avoided by installing those blacklist apps in different accounts profiles or private space
Basically safenet let’s apps say they won’t run if anything is side loaded or instead with a third party app store
Maybe this is their long term plan to kill other apps stores… Let banking apps be the bad guy by volunteering for a high “safety net” setting
Try “Shelter”. It’s available on F-droid. It’s an app that lets you manage your phone’s “Work Profile”. I use it to house scummy corpo apps that I occasionally need, but don’t want running all the time. From inside the work profile, HSBC shouldn’t be able to see apps installed outside of it.
Updated 2 years ago. Is this abandoned or just simply a slow rate of progress?
It’s a simple app that leverages a built in android feature and nothing more. I use it for the same reason as the guy above you. There’s no updates to be made.
I haven’t kept up with the development side of it…
Clicking through the links on F-droid, their issue tracker (https://lists.sr.ht/~petercxy/shelter) is active as of three weeks ago. Author’s github shows commits as of November 2024, and suggests a custom F-droid repository.
