i am testing a jailbreak and root-proof app, but in the information I read about detecting jailbreak and root in the following url:

http://docs.kony.com/konylibrary/visualizer/visualizer_user_guide/Content/ApplicationSecurity.htm#Jailbrok

and i had some doubts

  1. this Talks about how to configure the default error message in i18n, that means that detection is already enabled?
  2. if it is not enabled what steps should I follow to enable detection against root and jailbreak?
  3. Detection works once having the .ipa and .apk, or can it also be verified in the development stage?

Thanks.

Hi,

Q. this Talks about how to configure the default error message in i18n, that means that detection is already enabled?

A. Yes, you need to configure the Key and value with respect to locales when your device identified as jailbroken/root device.

Q.if it is not enabled what steps should I follow to enable detection against root and jailbreak?

A.To enable this, you need to build the application under protected mode. Go to application settings and check the Protected mode(Native-iPhone /Android) and while building the application choose Release.

Q.Detection works once having the .ipa and .apk, or can it also be verified in the development stage?

A.Detection works once you having the .ipa and .apk only.
