RootBeer is an Android library that detects whether a device has been rooted using multiple Java and native checks such as scanning for su binaries, root management apps, and test keys. It includes a sample app demonstrating the detection methods.
Use cases
- detect if an android device is rooted
- check for su binary presence in android app
- block rooted devices from using my app
- detect root management apps like magisk or supersu
- android security check for jailbroken/rooted devices
When to choose
- you need a simple, drop-in root detection library for an Android app
- you want multiple heuristic root checks without writing native code yourself
When to avoid
- you need guaranteed root detection against advanced root cloaking like Magisk DenyList
- you are targeting non-Android platforms
