Detect Rooted or Jailbroken Devices in Flutter with mobile_root_checker 🔐

In today's mobile world, app security is more crucial than ever. If your app handles sensitive data — whether it's finance, health, or private communication — allowing it to run on rooted (Android) or jailbroken (iOS) devices can open the door to vulnerabilities.

That's why I built mobile_root_checker, a Flutter plugin to help you detect rooted or jailbroken devices before they can harm your app integrity.

🔍 What is Root/Jailbreak Detection?

• Rooted devices on Android and jailbroken devices on iOS have elevated privileges, allowing users (or malicious apps) to bypass OS-level protections.
• This can lead to:
  • Code injection
  • Man-in-the-middle attacks
  • Data theft
  • Insecure app modifications

🚀 Introducing: mobile_root_checker

mobile_root_checker is a lightweight and open-source Flutter plugin to detect root/jailbreak status at runtime.

✅ Features

• Detect rooted Android devices
• Detect jailbroken iOS devices
• Easy Flutter integration (no native code required)
• Supports all major Android and iOS versions

📦 Installation

Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies: mobile_root_checker: ^1.0.0 Then run: flutter pub get 

import 'package:mobile_root_checker/mobile_root_checker.dart';

void main() async {
final isRooted = await RootChecker.isDeviceRooted();

if (isRooted) {
print("⚠️ Device is rooted or jailbroken!");
// Block or restrict app functionality here
} else {
print("✅ Device is secure.");
}
}
