Do you have much software experience? Respectfully as a software dev in a company of Uber+ scale, this mindset is the type of thing that gets chuckled at by the water cooler. Even if you assumed that the app is in maintenance mode (it's not), just keeping the ship steady is nontrivial. It takes more time & resources than expected.
Don't work in ride share, but you can also add on top of what you said:
- Regulatory policy management, which will result in never-ending eng work
- On-site presence for driver onboarding. In fact, there's an entire Uber Driver app + tech stack here. Any relevant sharing economy app has this problem.
- Location-specific workflows (airports, concerts, city centers...)
- Incentive programs, which are inherently not in maintenance mode due to trying to balance driver supply with demand. Clearly they aren't even close to solving this.
- Code health. Death by a thousand paper cuts is a real thing in software
I mean having too many devs is equally unhealthy, but dismissing Uber as a one-app product isn't valid. This is coming from someone who's never been bullish on rideshare.
Do you really not know how to find this stuff out for yourself?

Uber Partner app can see and hear everything on your phone and around it (through the vid cam) if they want it to.
iOS Uber Driver App: http://t.uber.com/ios
Android Uber Driver App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubercab.driver&hl=en
Access these on your phone and you can login to look at your driver rating.
Try installing this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubercab.driver
Then try logging in (even if they allow installations on Xiaomi devices, they might block you on login).
If you can do those two things, you're probably good to go.

Here you go... it's on the app store. Looks like you're right on the winphone though... no partner app.

I installed on my mi a1 and it works ok, I can register as a driver
are you able to log in on the desktop windows/mac portal to see your status? your background check came back OK and all your driver documents are ok/approved?

Cycle power on your phone. see if app needs update. Current version (android) is 4.332.10001 and was updated on 9/7,
No good? do a complete uninstall of the UBER DRIVER APP - cycle power - reinstall app and try to log in.
if that doesn't work, reset phone to stock OS and reinstall your app. Before you do all that - maybe see if there is a hub open and make an appointment to go in and sit with someone.
