ICICI iMobile Pay app disabled

[Shrinit Padwal]

Recently I updated apps on my phone and iMobile Pay app was also updated. On my phone Developer options is enabled. After updating, got a message like disable your developer options to enjoy app. I immediately checked other apps as well - Axis, HDFC, SBI, IndusInd are working fine with developer options. Why only iMobile Pay? Anyone else also facing this issue?

HDFC also won't allow with Developer Options afaik.. I think all these apps will check only once and not everytime, so just disable once

I think it checks only once at time of First Login, after the account is logged in, then you can enable Developer Options again

On android - helps in USB debugging, for freeform windows, split screens, peak refresh rates and many other things

I think it checks always whenever we login

I'm able to login with Developer Options On

I'm able to login with Developer Options On

With the latest android version, it's impossible. I've tried everything. Even if u login and turn and Dev options, it crashes.

Such a short-sighed decision that ICICI has made in the name of security though it actually is more of a hurdle for the users than actual security issues. Being a developer myself, I keep developer options on all the time for various reason (including some nice touches such as making the animations quicker). This makes it impossible for me and others like me to use the iMobile application as we cannot keeping turning off developer options and turning it back on. As soon as you turn it off, all settings we have set in it get reset and we'll have to do it all over again every single time, multiple times a day. No other bank/financial application I use requires developer options to be disabled, and rightly so. Ideally they should have just put a warning and let the user choose to continue.

I wrote a strongly worded email to customer care and this is the reply I got

Now, I'm going to also write to headservicequality@icicibank.com and see. I urge all of you who are affected to also start sending them emails stating your displeasure about this stupid decision. Maybe then they'll revert it like how HDFC did in the past. Play store reviews with 1 star may also help.

Tried disabling developer options and enabling it back, it only works when turned off. Absolute bummer
