    But if you have the ‘wrong’ version of android, the app will simply refuse to work. These kinds of apps are understandably picky because of security. And you can’t expect banks/governments to make exceptions for a small minority who uses a custom version of android.

      That does not depend on the version, but on google’s safetynet. Apps can check with it if your phone runs an approved installation, which means not just being limited to the original ROM, but one that still contains all the garbage data mining apps that will also drain your battery and your mobile data plan, besides taking away your privacy.

      Who do you think that custom ROMs don’t use the latest version of Android?

      And what do you think “custom version of Android” means? Every single android phone OEM needs to make their own ROMs. Are they all running custom android? Even Google pixels?
