I have a Pixel 7a with Magisk 26404 and LSPosed 1.9.2 installed. My bank application is only mad about USB debugging, how can I hide this? It works when I turn debugging off but that would prevent me from fixing soft bricks caused by Magisk modules if I forget to turn it back on.

They are getting bossy, impudent and intrusive to the point where it is only silly. In my opinion checking for root and especially relying on Google's certification process should be illegal. Checking for developer settings in general and debugging in particular is just 🤦‍♀️


I'm more astonished the banking app does not refuse because of Magisk/open bootloader/"bad" Safety Net status/"bad" Play Integrity Status.
Working around this is an eternal cat+mouse game.

I wouldn't trust smartphones as far as I can throw them so my knowledge of them is mostly zero. I also can't say if these thing is appropriate, safe and trustworthy:

Banking apps do security theater, but note that USB debugging is really a security hole as it allows accessing the phone from the outside.

It doesn't seem to use the invasive Google APIs which is nice.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
