Description

Describe the bug
I encountered a problem with microG when I tried to use a banking app that requires automatic SMS verification. But, the app did not receive the verification code automatically from microG, while it also did not allow me to enter the code manually. This prevented me from accessing the app's features and services. I expected microG to work seamlessly with the app and to provide me with working automaric sms verification. I also tried multiple sms apps but still it's early microG bug.

System
Android Version: 13
Custom ROM: LineageOS 20

Additional context
This could be the reason that I'll rollback to offical GApps.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Android 13 with LineageOS 20 and the banking app, using the reported SMS apps as context. Trace microG's automatic SMS verification handling and compare whether the verification code is received or whether manual entry remains available; done means the affected flow works reliably.
