Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

So that's why it works on lineage? They seem to get around this somehow

It runs in Lineage? Lineage is certified by Google Play Integrity API (I doubt it)? or Lineage tricks Google Play Integrity API?

Yes. These apps work and bank apps work fine. Netflix works too.

There are only problems with a bunch of applications that recently decided to use Play Integrity API not with every banking app nor Netflix.

This is the list: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos

In fact those applications should not work with Lineage unless Play Integrity API is patched/cracked someway in Lineage.

Authy in that list works fine too
