Root Detection

Rooted devices have Android operating system that was unlocked to allow users and apps to obtain higher privileges. Such device doesn’t provide a secure environment for an app to run on. A user and other apps can affect app’s runtime in an unexpected way.

Detecting when an app runs on a rooted device is a key RASP feature. When an app runs on a rooted device its integrity might be compromised.
