They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.
I don't think BankID has any sort of SDK that lets other apps access user data like that? All interaction with BankID I know of at least is triggered with the app needing authentication/signature opening a BankID session to the central service where you enter your authentication and then the BankID app is used as MFA to verify this.
Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying completely?
What I meant was that the phone operating system has SDKs (e.g. google services on android) which the app uses to make sure it hasn't been tampered with, which makes it even harder to make an open source client.
It's the opposite of supplying an SDK for third party developers.
Or even run the app as is on a "non-compliant" os - like a rooted android.
