SafetyNet API
The SafetyNet API
Attestation
The SafetyNet Attestation API,[2] one of the APIs under the SafetyNet umbrella, provides verification that the integrity of the device is not compromised.[3][4][5] In practice, non-official ROMs such as LineageOS fail the hardware attestation and thus restrict the user from enjoying a pure Android implementation (without the Google Services) while being able to use third-party apps (mainly banking). Due to this, some consider this a monopolistic practice deterring the entrance of competing mobile operating systems in the market. [6]
The SafetyNet Attestation API (one of the four APIs under the SafetyNet umbrella) has been deprecated.
