Fully-remote (0-click) bug on the Samsung S24 if Google Messages is configured for RCS (the default configuration on this device), as the transcription service decodes incoming audio before a user interacts with the message for transcription purposes. Issue is fixed now.

That doc is 2 years old and says right at the top that it was already outdated.

The situation with Play Integrity has changed dramatically over the last two years.

Google is now extremely aggressive about shutting down workarounds quickly. Remember that there is no guarantee that you will be able to consistently pass it on a non-stock device: this is Play Integrity's core function.

In the meantime microG has finally added PI support, which can make it easier to pass PI, but once again, there are no guarantees of this. It's depends greatly on your device, your ROM and Google's latest countetmeasures.

"In a way".

And in other ways, it's just Google doing what Google does, destroying the value of the FOSS base of Android (AOSP) and trying to push every android user to be completely dependent on their proprietary, closed-source "addons" to android which are often presented as "inevitable" and "necessary" when the simple fact is, in many cases they are NOT. Not from any technical standpoint.

Fun fact:

In order to support Safetynet, microG had to actually include a proprietary Google blob ("Droidguard") in GmsCore to perform the "secret" Googly things that allowed microG to add support for that function.

I suspect the same is true of Play Integrity.

That code is, for obvious reasons, not open source and not publicly documented.

Needless to say, a lot of people in the FOSS world, both devs and users, are wary of having such proprietary/secret Google code on their devices.

But it's an optional feature and a tradeoff, just like installing official Play Store with all it's malware-like behaviour: to get features you can no longer get on a pure FOSS android device.

Google has for over 10 years now been moving more and more core OS functions out of AOSP and into their proprietary GMS, GSF and Gplay frameworks, to try to "marry" its android users to those things.

It's one of the main motivations for Marvin to found the microG project ~12 years ago.
