   "Apple Music is only available on unrooted Android devices"

   This should actually be illegal

     @Qyriad I suspect most garbage that checks for "is it rooted?" just looks for the su binary, which you could happily hide or remove if all you care about is being able to get a root shell via adb or ssh...

     @dalias @Qyriad my bank's app is worse. Pretty sure it checked for my bootloader ever being unlocked. Even after I removed root and relocked bootloader, it still complains the phone is rooted.

     Either that, or there's another rootkit hiding out on the phone that I need to find...

     @hyc @Qyriad Can always approach it from the other direction: decompiling the java & editing out the check. 😈
