Please let me know how I should deal with my banking apps in the future. I used LineageOS and Magisk to convince SafetyNet that everything was as it should be.

Now I read that SafetyNet was depreciated and LineageOS would become a red flag for banking apps (in Germany).

What is the way forward?

How can I use up-to-date firmware (i am fine with using something besides LineageOS) and still use my banking app on my phone?

Hmmh. I mean I use a custom rom and Linux out of several reasons. But one of them is I want privacy and to stay in control. Often that requires some extra effort. Using PCs is quite alright for me. But the world of mobile apps is a bit more complicated. I've mostly worked around their crappy stuff by using workarounds like SafetyNet, third party apps and stuff. But it's getting more and more complicated. I kinda stopped bothering. I don't do NFC payments, I don't rent electro scooters because all of that stuff doesn't work. Nobody understands and I've complained to bank staff and it's just not something they care about. We still have a separate working TAN device. But I had to listen to the lecture how good the banking app is for like 3 times. :'-(

I think one of the alternatives is to use something like this: https://github.com/chiteroman/PlayIntegrityFix

If you really need an app. I think I'm going to weed out apps though and see if there are companies who offer better alternatives to their customers or alternative ways to access their services.
