    It won’t outside small niches. If people can’t use their banking apps, it’s dead before release.

      I agree, Android phones will not have a chance at being successful unless it has a translation layer to run Android apps.

      I know things like that exist, but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to having a high compatibility.

        Mine doesn’t even care if the phone is rooted, and most of the stuff can be done via a web interface. On the flip side of the coin, this shithole has SMS as the only available “2FA” method

        Unfortunately with security apps like banking, being able to run android apps is only one of the roadblocks.

          Although, maybe the banks website could word reasonably well in a browser. But, the mobile wallet apps would be a problem I bet.

            Some banks require you to have a phone app now. I know mine is app only.

                I can only check transactions. Any actions require the app.
