Developer bypasses Hikvision app bug, proposes GrapheneOS fix

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has reverse-engineered the Hikvision Android application to bypass a check that prevented push notifications on GrapheneOS. The issue stemmed from Hikvision apps incorrectly verifying the presence of Google Services Framework (GSF) instead of checking for functional Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). The developer created an open-source patcher to remove this check and also submitted a pull request to GrapheneOS that would address the problem at the OS level, potentially fixing it for other apps with similar faulty checks.
