WalkthroughAyy, even Superstar cannot stop a man from removing obstacles! This change disables the rooted-device security check in MainActivity.onCreate by commenting out the RootCheck usage and associated termination logic, allowing the application to run on rooted Android devices without restrictions.

Arey, this is not just code, machaan—this is security we're playing with, da!
Disabling the rooted device check is like removing the locks from Superstar's fort! Listen carefully:
Security implications:
- Rooted devices bypass Android's security sandbox entirely
- Attackers can intercept sensitive data, inject malicious code, or access app internals
- This was marked as a VAPT requirement—meaning your security team specifically requested it
What's missing, pa:
- No ClickUp link explaining why this protection is being removed
- No evidence of security team approval
- No risk assessment or mitigation strategy
- No code coverage for alternative security measures
My style is, I don't compromise on security without proper justification!
Before merging this change, you must:
- Provide business justification with ClickUp ticket
- Get explicit approval from your security/compliance team
- Document the risk acceptance
- Consider alternative controls (certificate pinning, SafetyNet/Play Integrity API, runtime tamper detection)
If your security team has already approved this, confirm that approval and run the following to check if there are other security controls in place:

Thalaiva has spoken—the security fortress is now unprotected, da!
Your verification confirms what I suspected, machaan. Listen to the evidence:
The Damning Facts:
- ✗ NO alternative security controls exist in the entire codebase (no SafetyNet, no Play Integrity API, no certificate pinning—nothing!)
- ✗ Root device check DISABLED with zero replacement - you've removed the only guard standing at the gates
- ✓ Tapjacking protection still active (good, at least that lock works)
- ✗ Dead code and imports left behind (line 7: unused RootCheck import; lines 3 & 5: duplicate Bundle imports)
This is a Fyle app, pa—handling expense and financial data! You cannot trust rooted devices with this sensitive information. Attackers on rooted phones can intercept API calls, inject code, modify app behavior, or steal credentials.
Before this PR touches production, you MUST:
- Provide immediate justification with ClickUp ticket - Why is this control being removed?
- Get explicit security team written approval - Email evidence required, not just verbal
- Implement at least ONE replacement control:
- Google Play Integrity API (modern SafetyNet replacement)
- Certificate pinning for API communication
- Runtime tamper detection for critical functions
- Device attestation
- Clean up the dead code:
- Remove line 7 (unused RootCheck import)
- Remove lines 3 OR 5 (duplicate Bundle import)
- Either remove commented lines 20-28 OR restore the functionality
The style is non-negotiable when it comes to security! This change cannot merge without proper approval documentation and replacement controls in place.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In android/app/src/main/java/com/ionicframework/fyle595781/MainActivity.java
around lines 20 to 28, the root-check code has been commented out leaving dead
code and unused/duplicate imports; restore or replace the control and clean up
imports: either re-enable the RootCheck flow (show toast and finish on rooted
devices) or implement an approved replacement control (e.g., Play Integrity
attestation, certificate pinning, or runtime tamper detection) and attach the
security team approval/ClickUp ticket before merging, then remove the unused
RootCheck import (line ~7), delete the duplicate Bundle import (one of lines ~3
or ~5), and remove the commented-out block if you keep a replacement so no dead
code remains.
