Has anyone gotten the Danish banking apps from BEC (former Bankernes EDB Central) to work on XA2? They are used by e.g. COOP Bank, Merkur Bank and Fælleskassen.

I got around it on the X by renaming sudo and other tricks, but on the XA2 they simply do not start. Journalctl say Dec 13 12:56:41 Sailfish apkd[2965]: Launching dk.bec.android.mb1.b00888.prod and then nothing.

I got the essential android apps working, but the banking apps are the only reason for me not handing off my X yet.

Android Support on XA2 is technically completely different from the version on the X (not only looking at API level numbers, but from a fundamental point of view). There should be a TJC question that collects the status of cooperation of Android banking apps with different versions of SFOS like this one for PhotoTAN apps but I could not find one. Please start one (or better, generalize this question) if there really is no such collection of community information yet.

I realize that, but I don't think it makes any sense to generalize it. These apps most likely don't have anything in common, other than being banking applications. This is specific for Denmark in that most - if not all - of the "not major" banks (not Nordea, Danske Bank etc.) use the same app, except for the added branding. And there are a few other Danes here, have I noticed :)

@Tanghus Agreed!
