Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can't run it same for waydroid.

and its just starting, its about to get even worse https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html?m=1

    I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn't run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it's not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.

    Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.
