Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

I've never developed on Android, but would it be hard to port most apps to AOSP at this point if the developer wanted to?

It'd be effortless.

Yeah so I don't see what the issue is. If they gave me stock android from 8 years ago I would still be happy to use it, and most basic users probably wouldn't even know the difference. There are very few features released in the past few years that I couldn't live without. Probably the only notable one I can think of is notification history. Other than that it has been all downhill, like removing the ability to easily record calls, which iphone can do no problem. As it is now I have to use a differnt phoen a a bunch of hacks to get it to work. It's my device, let me assume the risk. Nanny bullshit.
