    ASN Bank, a Dutch bank known for its ethical and sustainable profile, is blocking access to its banking app on Android devices that do not run certified Google software, including privacy-focused GrapheneOS. The move has drawn criticism, particularly since the bank markets itself as idealist, with users arguing that privacy-conscious customers are being excluded from banking services for their software choices.

The move lowers barriers for hobbyist developers and reflects the wave of AI-assisted software development. It comes as Android-adjacent platforms, including Amazon's new Alexa tablets, continue blurring lines around app distribution.
