react native:how to understand device is rooted?

Question

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.

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()

it gives an error "can not read isJailBroken of undefined." for iOS. – Dharmendra Vaishnav Nov 26 '19 at 11:58

@DharmendraVaishnav after `npm install`, you'll have to `react-native link`, and then cd into the ios project and `pod install` -- that's what worked for me – Dave B. Apr 19 '21 at 19:04
