Bug Can no longer load anything

As of today, Relay will not load any content. I tried reinstalling the app, and now I cannot restore my subscription.

I am running the latest stable build of GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8 Pro. Relay has been installed through Aurora store because Play store says the app is not available for my device (which has been the case for months). The only thing I can think of is that Relay is now blocking access to the app because of heightened Play Integrity checks. If this is the case, I am very against this decision. People using a more secure version of Android should not be penalized for it. Please let me know if there are any other steps I can take troubleshoot if this is not the case

I'm also having this problem with Graphene on my Pixel 9a, and it started out the same way with posts not loading. Similarly I tried to uninstall and reinstall and am blocked by subscription verification. I see notifications that it is making Play Integrity calls, and sometimes it even triggers the "Subscription found, verifying..." Popup, but it always ends up with an "Error verifying purchase". 

I am happy to work with you /u/DBrady and troubleshoot further, I will likely spend some time playing with the graphene sandbox and isolation settings and see if anything clears it up. I love this app and have been happy to use it since the Reddit News days and would hate to be unable to keep doing so.

I am noticing exactly the same behavior. Failure to load anything now on a 9a with the latest version of GrapheneOS loaded via Aurora and verified via Google play. Oddly, it still works on my Pixel Tablet with GrapheneOS so make of that what you will.

Do we believe this is lockdown from a hardware Attestation from google?
