react native:how to understand device is rooted?

I want to know if the device has been rooted, or not? I looked at react native library as well as the expo and did not find anything.

Also I want to have a list of installed apps on the phone.

Solution

  • You can use this library to identify if a phone is rooted or mocking locations.

    https://github.com/GantMan/jail-monkey

    import JailMonkey from 'jail-monkey'

// is this device JailBroken on iOS/Android?
JailMonkey.isJailBroken()

// Can this device mock location - no need to root!
JailMonkey.canMockLocation()

// Check if device violates any of the above
JailMonkey.trustFall()

// (ANDROID ONLY) Check if application is running on external storage
JailMonkey.isOnExternalStorage()
