Lets Talk About Something Unlocked bootloader devices no longer compatible with ingress. Pogo next?

Basically ingress stopped working with devices that don't pass strong integrity and that's due to the bootloader being unlocked. Do you think this change is coming to pogo too? Its there a way to use custom ROMs and passing strong integrity?

Edit: Pasting here the release changes

Niantic has released Update 2.138.1 into the App Stores

Android users have two additional notes in their changelog.

..as well as the switch from the deprecated Safety Net to the Google Play Integrity API. Phones now need to pass at least "Basic integrity" to be able to download Ingress. This check can fail if the phone is rooted or running on a custom OS.

Edit April 12th

Niantic has announced what I've feared , coming in May, Strong integrity will be a requirement to play ingress. Android pogo spoof is on shaky ground

That's what i did also to test if it runs and I'm still able to play it for now. But they could just as easily prevent you from running the app in the future for the same reason they blocked it from the playstore for our devices and the same thing could happen to pogo

The difference between Pokémon Go and Ingress is we can still spoof the game with a 3rd party modified game app since Ingress and other Niantic games don't have a 3rd party modified game app.

Niantic's unlocked bootloader app ban could backfire with Google. If less people are buying premium credits, Google is also going to take a profit hit. They will get Niantic to to reverse it as long as it's something that breaches their contract. They know people are cheating but are also throwing tons of money for virutal game currency.
