Anyone got Revolut (banking app) working on /e/OS?

I really want to use /e/OS as my daily driver on an ASUS Zenfone 8 (sake) but my main banking app (Revolut) refuses to run.

I have seen various threads such as this one and this one but the solutions suggested there do not seem to work.

Has anyone got Revolut working? If so, please can you detail the exact steps you have taken?

The solution is in my thread, but as it seems the /e/OS devs either are not aware of this (because they supposedly do not participate here in the forum) or refuse to implement that simple fix (which would be unreasonably stupid). Since that’s the only way to make it work again, either build your own version of /e/OS, wait and see if they implement the solution after all, or move on to another custom ROM.

It would be good to check the comments in the gitlab thread on this.

It has nothing to do with Play Integrity and although the fix has been mentioned in that Gitlab issue, there seems to have been no according interaction with the assigned dev. I have no Gitlab access so I can’t comment there.

Do you mean setting ro.secure=1 and ro.debuggable=0 in build.prop? Because that solution is not working on the current /e/OS with the latest Revolut app. (N.B. I did uninstall Revolut, clear the App Lounge data storage, reboot etc. before trying again.)

Edit: also just tried changing ro.build.user and ro.build.host to values from the GrapheneOS thread which also did not help.

I also tried downloading the previous version of Revolut (1005403809) which gets to the login screen but then demands “Please update to the latest version of the app to continue”.

Did you see this comment?

“@fla I actually made some tests spoofing ro.build.user and ro.build.host value at runtime but it does not work. I’ll make some more tests.”

There does seem to be interaction.

Hey, I read your thread and you seem rather upset about Revolut not working on /e/OS. You could always go for alternatives such as Bunq for day to day use and Neverless for crypto currencies

Hi, yes Revolut works without any problem for me. Sorry that you aren’t that lucky. I’m on Fairphone 5 on the official channel with the newest e/OS/ version 2.9 t

But you use it since a long time, right?

Didn’t install the app recently?

Yes, this is true. So you are saying this is a problem that only arises, when the app is freshly installed?

Yeah as written in these other posts and as also the creator of this one stated.

I hope Revolut is not your main Bank else you won’t have a good time in Toggenburg ln the future

Hehe, you know the region of switzerland? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
No, I use Revolut only as a very cheap way to get and pay with foreign currencies. So far without any problems on my Murena FP5


I am from Switzerland :wink:. It would be nice to be able to add a swiss flag :thinking:

I am also wondering if there is a way to get revolut to work. I just got my FP5 from murena today, and am going through the process of setting everything up. So far, only revolut has caused problems of any kind. Even my regular bank app works just fine xD So, anyone got any solutions?

No, no solution with e/OS/.

Shame. Many of my family/friends use it to send money to each other and manage payments when going out. For now I suppose ill need to have my old device on hand and keep an eye out for any solutions. Thanks anyway

This is one of the gotchas preventing me from migrating fully to my new Murena phone also. I am considering Bunq as an alternative as my main use is for prepaid cards for the kids. Bunq is a lot more expensive though.

If I recall Kuketz Blog article correctly, Revolut is a huge data collector, why it is so ‘cheap’.

Most likely, nothing is free but the cheese in the mousetrap.
I will probably get the kids cards from Bunq, I will also miss the disposable cards a bit. I am not going to let it stop me migrating to E/OS.

I have by the way complained to Revolut about it and told them I will switch to Bunq if they do not address it.
