And then i complained that my bank blocked access if adb was enabled...
If there's no loan attached to that account, for me this message reads "sorry, we don't want you as a customer. Please contact a bank teller to have a full refund, uninstall this app and don't forget to leave a 1 star review"
I'm not willing to compromise on this shit. My phone is my phone.
Imagine one of my medical apps refusing to run because of adb..
My medical app doesn't let me take a screenshot of the bill statement when I wanted to contest an upcharge.
luckily there was still an option to download a pdf, but still there was no option at all to disable that BS.
That's wack as hell.
In my case, Medtronic does a lot to prevent inspection of how their apks work at all, encrypting and obfuscating the code to make open-source emulation extremely difficult.
Luckily, hackers don't quit.
