Recently, users of custom kernels for Android devices have been facing significant challenges regarding certification on Google Play. The Play Integrity API, responsible for verifying device authenticity, now includes a check on the kernel version name, resulting in failures for those with specific terms such as "crDroid", "AICP" or "LineageOS", which are now part of a Google blacklist.
This change signifies that Google Play certification has become more stringent, and custom kernels that previously passed through the processes may now face restrictions. The lack of certification can lead to issues for users, including the non-functionality of essential services like Google Pay and banking applications.

Google Updates Play Integrity API
Google’s Play Integrity API now uses hardware-backed security for Android 13+ devices, aiming to combat fraud (spoof) by making integrity checks harder to bypass.
It also improves verdict latency by up to 80%, streamlining app performance and security. However, older devices and custom ROMs may face limitations. Developers must adopt the new standards by May 2025, strengthening the overall Android ecosystem’s security.
