yeah this is a bullshit excuse:
> The national EUDI Wallet does not need an account/login.
This is a straight lie.
> Users can use the wallet without creating any account/login. Independently of this, the App Store and Google Play Store require an account for the user to install any application.
This is not "independent". Their security architecture depends on this.
> We are aware that some users prefer alternative distribution methods. These are being looked into. Any such approach must meet the required security standards and must not compromise the integrity of the EUDI Wallet.
Their whole botched security architecture relies on remote attestation using Google Play Integrity and the Apple equivalent. And they lie straight in our face.
Of course the whole regulation was at least in Germany supported and influenced by people in a pseudo public research institute who then immediately founded the spin-off for-profit startup which got awarded the app development. It is unclear to me how deep that appearance of corruption goes, what part of the EU is in on it, and what part is just too naive.
