I love GrapheneOS. The biggest downside is that Google integrity API block wireless payments in Google Pay. All Dutch banks now advertise to install Google pay for wireless payments. I've tried asking Google to support GrapheneOS but they told me to do a feature request. Which I did and got no reply to. I've contacted the consumer market authority and made a formal complaint since Google and Apple share effectively a contactless payments duopoly and decide which OS distributions get access. Those are closed source and usually bundled with a lot of spyware. I also explained how the Google integrity API might affect banking availability in the future (and already does for some banking apps). They took it very seriously and I hope to hear from them in the future.

I did using their website form. It needs to be clear from the complaint that Google is violating fair market principles. They also like details about what exactly is happening and who is affected. That was why they called me after I filed the complaint.

I would love to chip in and see if we can get this ball rolling, usually I feel like I'm the only person who cares or files AP/ACM/... complaints and then it's too small beans for them to care. I'd not submit the literal same thing again, but could you share what wording you've used? Specifically in this case I'd also not be sure whether this blocking of Graphene etc. is abuse of market power when there is another option on the market (Apple) and so it's not a monopoly

There's no contact info in your profile so I couldn't reach you. If you don't want to share it here, you could use the email address in my profile
