Hello Friends,

Welcome To Infinitbility!

First, I try react-native-isDeviceRooted ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-is-device-rooted ) but due to manual installation I got errors and started to research on an alternative solution and I got jail-monkey ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/jail-monkey ) and it’s like a charm and below tutorial, I will explain how I do it…

Note ❗ Since emulators are usually rooted, you might want to bypass these checks during development. Unless you’re keen on constant false alarms ⏰
