This should also indicate which EUDI wallets will require Google or Apple device attestation. My guess is all of them.

For all the talk about digital sovereignty, EU still builds the fundamental element of EU citizenship, the digital ID, on American companies. Baffling.

Hmm... AFAIR Duch one (https://github.com/MinBZK/nl-wallet/) will not force it and they are actively working on handling it.

What's more - you won't be limited to using your national wallet - you would be able to use whichever implementation works for you (so, for example Duch one).

Alas: yes, UE should push harder to avoid google/apple :/

Looks like it's an open spec so can create a wallet for any OS https://eudi.dev/latest/main/

Any talks about physical sovereignty? Why do EU let its auto industry struggle against Chinese EVs? What about electronic products? Why can Europe wean off foreign energy such as from US or Middle East or Russia?

So your being baffled relies solely on your guess being correct? It kinda feels like a good idea to wait until we know for sure.

I mean I wouldn't really be surprised if you were right, but I also want to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.
