Description

Describe the bug
The Capital One banking app fails to load on my OnePlus 7 Pro running LOS + microG. It worked a few months ago on the same device. Strangely, it works just fine on my old Nexus 5X running LOS + microG. What changed?

I know there are lists of apps that are known not to work under microG, but the fact that it used to work indicates something must have changed. Perhaps there is a fix?

Additional context
It was a long time ago since I set up my Nexus 5X. I don't remember if the ROM I installed came with microG installed or if I flashed it separately, but I think it was included in the build.
