Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

security_plus is a Flutter plugin designed to enhance app security by detecting multiple potential threats, including root access, jailbreak detection, emulator environments, development mode, and external storage usage. It helps developers safeguard their applications against common vulnerabilities present in compromised or debugged devices. The package integrates seamlessly with Android and iOS platforms, providing real-time checks during runtime. By identifying risky conditions early, it enables proactive responses such as restricting functionality or terminating sessions. Ideal for apps handling sensitive data, it strengthens overall security posture without requiring complex implementation.

Use cases

  • Protecting financial apps from unauthorized access
  • Detecting emulators in gaming apps
  • Preventing debug mode usage in production
  • Securing health and personal data apps
  • Blocking execution on rooted devices
  • Enforcing secure environment checks

Key features

  • Root and jailbreak detection
  • Emulator and simulator detection
  • Development mode detection
  • External storage usage monitoring
  • Cross-platform support (Android & iOS)
  • Real-time security alerts

Suitable for

  • Apps handling sensitive user data
  • Financial and banking applications
  • Healthcare and privacy-focused apps
  • Games requiring anti-cheat measures
  • Enterprise mobile solutions

Considerations

  • May trigger false positives on certain devices
  • Requires careful handling of detected threats
  • Limited to basic security checks
  • Not a substitute for comprehensive security architecture
  • Performance impact in high-frequency checks

dependencies:
  security_plus: ^3.0.1

Platform Setup

Android

1.Add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

</manifest>

2.Add permission_handler for runtime permission management:

dependencies:
  permission_handler: ^10.4.3
iOS

Add the following to your Info.plist file:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs access to location when open to verify device security.</string>

Usage

Import the package
import 'package:security_plus/security_plus.dart';
import 'package:permission_handler/permission_handler.dart';
Handle Permissions and Security Checks
Future<void> checkDeviceSecurity() async {
  // Request location permission first
  if (Platform.isAndroid) {
    final status = await Permission.location.request();
    if (!status.isGranted) {
      // Handle permission denied
      return;
    }
  }

  // Perform security checks
  try {
    final isRooted = await SecurityPlus.isRooted;
    final isEmulator = await SecurityPlus.isEmulator;
    final isDevelopmentMode = await SecurityPlus.isDevelopmentModeEnable;
    final isMockLocation = await SecurityPlus.isMockLocationEnabled;
    final isExternalStorage = await SecurityPlus.isOnExternalStorage;

    // Handle security check results
    if (isRooted || isEmulator || isMockLocation) {
      // Handle security risks
    }
  } catch (e) {
    // Handle errors
  }
}
Individual Security Checks
Root Detection
try {
  bool isRooted = await SecurityPlus.isRooted;
  if (isRooted) {
    // Handle rooted device
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle errors
}
Emulator Detection
try {
  bool isEmulator = await SecurityPlus.isEmulator;
  if (isEmulator) {
    // Handle emulator detection
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle errors
}
Development Mode Check
try {
  bool isDevelopmentMode = await SecurityPlus.isDevelopmentModeEnable;
  if (isDevelopmentMode) {
    // Handle development mode
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle errors
}
Mock Location Check
try {
  bool isMockLocation = await SecurityPlus.isMockLocationEnabled;
  if (isMockLocation) {
    // Handle mock location
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle errors
}
External Storage Check
try {
  bool isOnExternalStorage = await SecurityPlus.isOnExternalStorage;
  if (isOnExternalStorage) {
    // Handle external storage detection
  }
} catch (e) {
  // Handle errors
}

Security Features

Root Detection Mechanisms

The plugin employs multiple layers of root detection:

  1. RootBeer Integration: Uses the advanced RootBeer library for base root detection
  2. Frida Detection: Actively searches for Frida-related processes and libraries
  3. File System Checks: Scans for common root-related files and directories
  4. Package Analysis: Detects known root management applications
  5. Runtime Integrity: Checks for system modifications and hooks
Anti-Tampering Protection
  • Process monitoring for known tampering tools
  • Library injection detection
  • System property verification
  • Runtime integrity checks
