Nice. Id instantly stop using those apps. But it looks like it just checks if dev settings are enabled. You can disable them again after unlocking bootloader you know :D

Oh the app completely doesn't load on a unlocked bootloader, this is on a locked bootloader system where I just activated Developer Mode to show the message of the app. I know that I can deactivate it again 😜

Unfortunately I don't have a system with unlocked bootloader right now to show the message that comes up then.

Unfortunately I have to use the app to be a able to take card payments for my business.
