XDA Developer has tested this framework using Magisk 18.0 on Google Pixel 3 XL. But it should work on the lower version of Magisk as well. Since this framework is installed via Magisk, it should be able to pass a SafetyNet attestation check because of its systemless nature. Therefore, you won’t face any problem using Google Pay and Pokemon GO.
