Anyone manage to get Boursobank running?

This is a Banking app for an online bank in France.

It exists in the Aurora store, but it gives me a message that my device is not compatible.

Note that I run Lineage OS 22.2 on my old Oneplus (Android 15 too) and it runs there.
It seems that it requires some google play-store functionality.

Any hints, comments welcome.

I just tried downloading the app via aurora app store and got a message that the app is not available for my device, preventing me from downloading and installing.
I’m assuming that you have the same issue.

I used aurora app store’s spoof manager and changed my device to Samsung Galaxy S25. Then I was able to download and install the app.
You can access the spoof manager by clicking the config icon in top right and selecting spoof manager.

Let us know if that worked for you.

The installation isn’t the problem. It installs fine.
When running it, I can enter my account number and my code - but then I get the error message stating:

Nous n'avons pas pu nous assurer de 
l'integrité de votre appareil. Merci de
n'utiliser l'application BoursoBank que sur
 un appareil physique non altéré (root,
 rom...). En l'état, votre application n'est pas
 autorisé à se connecter à Boursobank.

which in english shows:
We were unable to verify the integrity of your device. Please only use the BoursoBank application on a physical device that has not been modified (rooted, custom ROM, etc.). Currently, your application is not authorized to connect to Boursobank

I yet have to check how the spoof manager works.

oh, so it’s a different issue then.

This looks like the same issue we’ve had with Revolut app during beta testing.
The app showed that it won’t run on the phone as the phone is unlocked/running custom ROM. The issue got resolved in an update.

What OS version are you running @Haley ?

@rik , can you escalate this to the devs.

The latest IodéOS availble for the Bras3: ver 6.6 from August 3rd.

Question: Does the spoof manager does it for all applications, or is the “app” tagged at install? (I think I’ll have some issue with the other banking apps that are already installed if the phone suddenly changes :slight_smile: ).

The spoof manager basically spoofs your device model to the store itself.
Not to the app. The app gets your device model after getting installed on the phone.

So it will not change the issue.
What is weird is that it will install fine, but the checks are failing when the app starts.
Do they do it by checking against a DB, or is just google telling them that it is not Ok?
Disabling IodéOS’s security didn’t change a thing either.

PS: talking to support staff at the bank does not help either. My newbornm granddaughter seems to know more then them… sigh

Can you confirm your microG settings are all enabled? Go to System Settings > System > microG Settings and confirm the following:

  • Self-Check: all checkmarks enabled
  • Google device registration: on
  • Google SafetyNet: on

Usually with these all enabled in microG it will not detect as a custom ROM or an unlocked ROM.

I should note that Plexus isn’t reporting great results, but there are some older reports of full functionality (but newer ones report it as not working, with some comments): Plexus | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I can confirm that all these settings are set as per your list except -
the one checkmark that is not set is: Permission to This app can appear on top of other apps (in the self check).
BTW - I had provided my google credentials to microG …

This one isn’t essential for this use case. I’ll try to check in on what was done to get Revolut working but I don’t know if this is the exact same scenario.

That would allow various google apps to work such as Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Voice, etc. when you need to provide a Google login.

I bet the devs in france have a BoursoBank account :slight_smile: They should be able to figure it out :smiley:

I’ve posted an inquiry, but they are also in holiday season. I did see a strange comment on the /e/ forum that someone removed their Google Account info from microG and then Boursobank allowed login. But as Plexus seems to note, the challenge is with newer versions of the app, which may have outdated the /e/ discussion.

Just to keep the thread alive. The guys from Iodé OS should have come back from vacation now, and will probably look into the WiFi issue first.
But this one is quite important IMHO (at least for me) :slight_smile:

@plamen has created a case for this.
Hi. I’ve created this issue on iode’s issue tracking board: Some banking apps identify iodeOS as custom ROM (altered OS) (#44) · Issues · ota / issue-tracker · GitLab

The iode devs will be posting an update on this directly in the issue on their board.

I checked the Some banking apps identify iodeOS as custom ROM (altered OS) (#44) · Issues · ota / issue-tracker · GitLab again, and nothing happened to it so far.
Any chance we could ask them? Or update the request.
