Android

Target API increased to 33

To meet new requirements for apps published on the Google Play Store, the target version of the SDK has been increased to Android 13 with API level 33. This change is needed to avoid APK rejection caused by security issues found with older API versions.

Detection of additional rooting methods and root cloaking tools added

Detection for the following rooting methods has been added:

  • OneClick Root
  • KingoRoot
  • Root Dashi (Zhiqupk Root)

Also, the following root cloaking tools have been added:

  • Hide My Root Adfree
  • Hide Rooting Premium

If Magisk Hide was used to prevent root detection on an Android device, the SDK is not able to detect that a device is rooted.

iOS

Jailbreak method detection improved

The detection of jailbreak methods has been improved. The SDK checks if URL schemes of suspicious apps are present
