So google now requires Id verification for submitting apps to android, what does it mean for Foss apps, for Foss stores like fdroid and for future development?

The problem is no banking institution, etc. Would do that. They could simply ignore play integrity already but they don’t do that.

And with that, how long until there are no unlockable bootloaders? Then a fork wouldn’t matter at all and using a Linux phone with lineage likely wouldn’t even work due to lack of device drivers for android.

Why are you using an app to do your banking? Use www.yourbank.com
