The EU reference for wallets strictly required google play services https://github.com/eu-digital-identity-wallet/eudi-app-andro...

So Italy's IO app https://github.com/pagopa/io-app (wallet, documents, age verification) continuously refuses the users' request for GrapheneOS support and requires google.

Nothing will change until the lawsuits start coming in.

The only hope is the motorola/grapheneOS collaboration and consumer associations, that might sue for anticompetitive behavior.

Make noise on any channel for the apps that require play services, it will help in the future if the lawsuits start, since it will show user support for the initiative.
