As far as I’m aware, there are no work-arounds that allow for circumventing the Play Integrity API. Probably because you cannot avoid the involvement of a Google backend API that is accessed by the app’s backend. It works like this: Play Services hands a token to the app, the app sends it to the app backend, and then the app backend lets a Google backend verify the token, which results in a verdict. You cannot manipulate the token.
