BankID and Swish (swedish users)
There is way more important stuff really is needed on Jolla for swedish users atleast:
One is bankid/swish for online payment in sweden but we probadly should forget about an native app. However I heard bankid android app from google store works. But to me it's really not a good choice because I to lazy tweak my device to get google play to work:( Also I am not sure its really is allowed could google simply just lock devices out if to many is using this this way?
I also tried those download sites available but did not succed. So question is if we could get the banks to upload the app on http://harbour.jolla.com? but that makes me wonder:
How many swedish are there using Jolla?
Can some swedish users confirm that bankid and swish really works on Jolla?
I raise those questions since it would be very intresting to know how many swedish users have Jolla. The more the better chance get the app uploaded at jolla harbour store also.
This is actualized now, since Finansiell Id-teknik (the company behind the BankId applications) has announced that they will drop the Android version that Alien Dalvik currently (including Sailfish X 2.2) implements. With Swish and Mobilt BankID so tightly coupled and almost being a must-have in Sweden today, this is a big issue (for us Swedes).
I tried BankID on my Jolla a couple of months ago (downloaded with APK-downloader from Google Play) but I wasn't able to get it to work so I uninstalled it and haven't tried it again since...

There is an error code shown. After that issuing a new bankid will get it working again, but only for a while, perhaps a day or so.
I don't know what's going on with that, perhaps some Jolla dev could shed some light over the alien dalvik and what kind of issues may arise in secure applications like this.
It seems to work, but only to some degree. That's what bugs me the most, it feels like only some details prevents this from working just fine.
