Danish BEC banking apps

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
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.

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 :)
