Digitales Amt Liberator is an Xposed module that removes root and bootloader checks from Austrian e-government apps. These are
- Digitales Amt by Bundesministerium für Digitalisierung und Wirtschaftsort
- FinanzOnline [+] by Bundesministerium für Finanzen
The problem
When your Android phone is rooted or its bootloader unlocked, the app starts, but it doesn't allow users to connect their ID Austria to it (for "security reasons"), or it already denies starting for the same reason. This makes the e-government app basically useless.
The solution
Digitales Amt Liberator removes any calls in supported Austrian e-government apps to root and bootloader checks and therefore provides a tailored solution to running the app on rooted devices.
Wants root
Anti-Features: NonFreeAdd(the application promotes non-free add-ons):
⇒ The app supplements non-libre apps from AT government.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
