GermanyThe PayPal app has been crashing on devices running GrapheneOS, a custom Android ROM designed with strong security and privacy features. Users reported the issue on platforms like Hackernews, confirming that the app incorrectly detects root access on non-rooted devices, leading to automatic shutdowns. The error message indicates a security policy violation related to 'root' detection. According to reports, the issue stems from a compatibility problem between PayPal’s app and GrapheneOS’s secure app spawning feature, which ensures apps run in isolated environments. Users can temporarily resolve the issue by disabling this feature within the app settings. Meanwhile, other apps such as Volkswagen’s require specific Google Play services APIs, which are absent in GrapheneOS due to its intentional exclusion of Google services.
