root_jailbreak_guard 1.0.0

Flutter jailbreak and root detection plugin with AGP 8 support, enhanced security checks, and active maintenance. Forked from flutter_jailbreak_detection.

root_jailbreak_guard

Flutter plugin to detect jailbroken iOS devices and rooted Android devices.

This package is a maintained fork of flutter_jailbreak_detection, which has not received a pub.dev release since 2022 despite ongoing community fixes. The original project lives at jeroentrappers/flutter_jailbreak_detection.

Native libraries

• Android: RootBeer
• iOS: IOSSecuritySuite

Installation

dependencies:
  root_jailbreak_guard: ^1.0.0

Usage

import 'package:root_jailbreak_guard/root_jailbreak_guard.dart';

final bool isCompromised = await RootJailbreakGuard.jailbroken;
final bool isDevMode = await RootJailbreakGuard.developerMode;

Both getters default to true when the native platform call fails (fail-secure).

iOS configuration

Add URL schemes to your app's ios/Runner/Info.plist so IOSSecuritySuite can detect jailbreak-related apps:

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
  <string>cydia</string>
</array>

Migration from flutter_jailbreak_detection
