I have an Android app which I haven’t been to activate because of it requires that during the activation a phone to be a) on mobile data b) with the same sim card that assinged to me by a service of the app.
I have a sim card, but I can’t turn on mobile data because firstly I can’t top it up here, in other country. Secondly, it’d eat up lots of money, if I could somehow.
Is there a way to trick an Android app to believe that it uses mobile data whilst in relality it’s on Wifi? Reverge engeneering would the last resort. Is there an easier way?
If I’m reading it correctly, the app is activated through a check that ensures it’s connected to the same mobile service provider that also makes the app? In that case even if you could “trick” the app into running over WiFi it wouldn’t matter because it’s actually testing the mobile connection, not whether it’s connected to the internet.
It’s designed as a security measure, so any easy way would probably be patched by the engineers who made the app.
