Use this plugin to add an extra layer of security for your app by detecting if the device was root
ed (on android) or jailbreak
ed (on iOS).

To avoid errors like
-canOpenURL: failed for URL: "cydia://package/com.example.package" - error: "This app is not allowed to query for scheme cydia"
don’t forget to add "cydia"
in LSApplicationQueriesSchemes
key of info.plist
. Otherwise canOpenURL
will always return false
.
<xxx>
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>cydia</string>
</array>
</xxx>
Usage in Javascript
IRoot.isRooted(successCallback, failureCallback);
IRoot.isRootedWithBusyBox(successCallback, failureCallback);
successCallback(result:boolean)
is called with true
if the device is Jailbroken/rooted, otherwise false
.failureCallback(error:string)
is called if there was an error determining if the device is Jailbroken/rooted.
