Tips and Tricks
Banking and Financial Apps
These apps often have many "safety" checks in place to insure app integrity. If apps are crashing on launch, the following tips may help:
- Enable native code debugging:
Settings->Security->Enable native code debugging - Exploit protection compatibility mode:
Settings->Apps->[my app]->Advanced->Exploit protection compatibility mode - Install app from official Google Playstore. Apps can check where they were installed from (i.e. AuroraOSS), and not launch.
