It's intended to be a successor to the current reCAPTCHA, sold as harder to spoof than current picture-based versions. Now, almost from its start, CAPTCHA existed to train AI vision models. So Google basically painted themselves into a corner using free labor to train models good enough to recognize images, now they are switching to device signals.

That said, they're going to have to provide a compatibility layer for iOS which AFAIK doesn't come with Google Play Services right now. So I have some faith in the smart folks who make these de-shittified OSes working something out via microG or the like.

iOS has their own attestation/anti-tamper api similar to google's integrity api so that's going to be used instead. the only difference is that on iOS you'll need to download extra software specifically for this.

graphene devs said you can do it with their sandboxed version of gms but as far as i know that still involves having an account and handing over all your personal info to google.
