Verification Failed Error in Squad Busters
Issue

Coming to the issue, this error happens when you open the game on your device, and you will be treated with a “Verification Failed” pop-up without launching the game. Even if you shut down the game and reopen it, it wouldn’t work still.
Reason
After a lot of workarounds, it seems there is only one reason behind it. If you are not downloading the game from the official app stores, be it Google Play or Apple Store, then the game won’t work. Simply put, even if it is an official .apk file from other sources, the game will install, but it will pop up the Verification Failed message.
How to Fix
The only fix you have for this is to get the game via the official app stores. You can download and play Squad Busters on both Android and iOS via Google Play and the App Store respectively, without undertaking any risks of any external files.
However, some devices such as the Honor, Huawei-made Android phones cannot get the official versions since they don’t come with installed Google Play. So you will have to wait for the game to launch in their in-built stores.
