How to pass Google Play's device integrity checks for general integrity and compatibility?

Activating or Deactivating Google Play Protect:

By default, Google Play Protect is activated. However, you have the option to deactivate it. For optimal security, we recommend keeping Google Play Protect activated.

Launch the Google Play Store app.
Tap the profile icon at the top right.
Select "Play Protect" followed by "Settings".
Toggle "Scan apps with Play Protect" on or off.

Sending Unknown Apps to Google:

If you download apps from sources other than the Google Play Store, Google Play Protect might ask you to send these unknown apps to Google. By activating the “Improve harmful app detection” setting, you allow Google Play Protect to automatically send unknown apps to Google.

Launch the Google Play Store app.
Tap the profile icon at the top right.
Select "Play Protect" followed by "Settings".
Toggle "Improve harmful app detection" on or off.
