Overview
Flutter Root Detection is a cross-platform package that identifies whether an Android or iOS device is rooted or jailbroken. It helps safeguard applications by preventing execution on compromised devices, ensuring security and integrity. The package operates without requiring elevated privileges like root or sudo, making it lightweight and safe to use. Designed for developers focused on app security, it provides a simple API to detect device tampering early in the app lifecycle.
