Missed context... However, important context: This is not a production EU app that citizens are being asked to install today. It is the official DEMO / DEV reference implementation (white-label blueprint) published at ageverification.dev and on GitHub. The project docs are explicit: “This white-label application is a reference implementation … that should be customised before publishing it.” Pre-built APKs and hosted services are for testing and demonstration purposes only. It ships relaxed storage (SharedPreferences for PIN/flags, visible PNGs) deliberately so developers in 27 member states can quickly test flows, debug, and reset state on emulators/devices. That said — fair criticism remains: Even for a reference/demo, the defaults are weaker than they should be (no secure-by-default keystore/Keychain example in the obvious path, no strong tamper detection in the demo build). The European Commission’s public statements (“technically ready … highest privacy standards in the world”) created the misleading impression that this was a finished, hardened product. That was sloppy messaging.

extra professional co-degens

I'm pretty sure they paid whoever created this at least 50M€ to vibe this. Most likely on top some relative of the power hungry psychopaths.

This by design so they can say: "Well this is not working, we'll keep privacy in mind but everything you do will be send it our servers and stored forever."

I would be surprised of the opposite 🤮

Nevermind. This was fake news.
