XA2 with Sailfish OS 3.2.1 considered a ”Jailbroken” phone by Andriod app.

Today I installed a new mobilebank app released at beta level from the Danish bank Jyskebank. The Android app installs fine but the app stops at startup with this warning (translated from Danish) displayed:

"Access not possible

Due to security reasons you cannot use this because your mobile phone is jailbroken."

It seems the app checks and find the bootloader unlocked and therefore blocks the app from starting with the above message. I’m afraid this could be the beginning of a new rather big problem for ”alternative” Android versions.

1) Has anyone else experienced this problem?

2) Does anyone know if its possible to develop a solution that can re-lock the bootloader after installing SFOS?

3) Is it possible that Jolla somehow could reach an agreement with Sony that would solve the problem (allow relocking)?

4) If above is not possible, is it feasible that a software solution could be made showing the bootloader is locked, even it's not?
