Open attestation for Google‑free Android

A European consortium (Volla, Murena, Iode, Apostrophy, UBports interest) is building 'UnifiedAttestation' — an open, decentralized attestation service plus test suite that lets banking, government and wallet apps verify security on Android builds without relying on Google's Play Integrity. It combines an OS service API, a decentralized validator, and an open certification test suite to make alternative Android distributions certifiable for sensitive apps. — If adopted, this could undercut a major platform gatekeeping mechanism, reshaping who controls access to high‑trust mobile services and advancing European digital sovereignty.
