Using an officially supported secondary app store and calling it a Play Integrity bypass seems like a bit of a stretch.

So you are saying to bypass the integrity check is to use another authorised store?
I read it like maybe some side-loaded apps that require Play Services still work without Play Services installed IF you just have one of those other stores installed instead, but yeah, we need clarification.
For anyone who got hopeful this is not a bypass for Play Integrity Check. OP is just installing apps from a different app store ment for phones which are restricted from using American tech. Due to this limitation all the app developers know if anyone is installing apps from those stores they maynot have Google Play Services example Huawei. So those app developers themselves are bypassing checking for Play Integrity Check.
If it was the case just of using different app store Aurora would've also worked. But it doesn't because Aurora provides exact same APK as the google play store unlike the other app stores OP mentioned
Confusing write-up. Care to clarify
- why exactly your phone fails attestation?
- what exactly it is you did to make it work?
Sorry If the post wasn't clear

When you use a stock rom/non custom rom with GPS removed (through adb or root) and you want to install an app from Google Play, you can't launch the app and it gives you a warning saying to install the app from Google Play, this is because of Google Play Integrity Check
-
What I did to make it work is use the pre-installed other app store that you have on your phone like the Samsung Galaxy Store, the store and the apps it distributes doesn't rely on Google Play Services (or at least in my experience)
Thanks for the clarification!
In order to drink lots of beer and not get drunk from it....

..... you just could drink 20 shots first, then you are drunk already, and afterwards you can drink as much beer as you want, but you won't get drunk from it!
Ok ok that was bullshit of the purest kind. But the post was the same. 🙃
Depends on how you define getting drunk.
You are not bypassing Google Play Integrity Check. Apps can see what store you install them from and some apps blocks non official stores.
So if there's an F-droid phone it will still work with F-droid? Sign me up.
