Have you tried to challenge Google's anti-competitive requirements in any way? Would make a case in EU.

Yes, we very actively engaged in discussion with the EU Commission. It hasn't resulted in any major actions against Google in this area yet. The people we've talked to seem to understand what we've told them but it's not more broadly understood. They focus on easier to understand and less technical things where Google can't fool them with misleading claims and misdirection as easily such as forcing them to allow alternatives to the Play Store and Google AI.
Play Integrity API is disguised as a security feature and is aligned with governments wanting to crack down on people freely using arbitrary software and hardware which makes it hard to convince governments to stop it.
