Hi!

I have a light degoogled Zenfone, using Aurora Store and F-Droid. Recently my company moved offices and the new building requires an app to unlock the door, no alternatives -_-

The problem is, I can’t sign in to the app due to an “Integrity API Error (-2)” - PLAY_STORE_NOT_FOUND. I don’t work from the office very often so its not suuuper critical, but still quite annoying to always ask someone to let me into the building… the apps support also said “sorry you gotta install the official store”.

Does anyone know if I can resolve this somehow without installing the official playstore? I have not made any progress the last couple times I tried to find a solution…

Also annoying that Asus discontinued their bootloader unlock, so I am not even too sure about fully rooting my phone. Though, I could/should honestly look into that again, but have not managed yet…

    If you end up having to go through the route of electric trash, I’d recommend buying a phone that is

    • used
    • tiny

    So that you’re not buying something new, and so that you can use it as a “key fob”.

    For example, there was the palm phone in 2018 or so which was a massive flop because it was small and underpowered. Unihertz devices could be another good alternative. Also older, smaller Xperia phones - a 2018 flagship would cost peanuts and be way more powerful than you actually need to run a key fob app.
