I initially installed it before Aurora Store 4 broke geo-restricted apps and I have mostly ‘dirty flashed’ /e/ updates since then. But I have just tried on a fresh install (of a custom /e/ build, but the same should work on official and unofficial releases).
No need for a VPN. It works when all of the following are in place: (It may work without one or more but this is what I did)
- Language set to English (United Kingdom) - I set this in the setup wizard, but you should be able to just change it if necessary in Settings | System | Languages & input.
- In Aurora Store (I did this before logging in, but it should work if you do it when logged in, so long as you log out and stop the app after you’ve done it)
- In Spoof manager, set Language to English
- In Settings | Networking, set the ‘Insecure anonymous session’ switch to ‘On’
- Log out if you had already logged in
- Stop the app (using the task manager icon - the square one to the right of the ‘Home’ icon)
- Restart the app
- Log in as Anonymous
After you’ve done all this, the Nationwide Banking App should be top of the list when you search for `nationwide online banking’. You should also be able to install other UK specific geo-restricted apps, such as the NHS Covid tracker app.
Good luck!
