Is there any way to detect in tvOS app if the apple tv is jailbroken or not ? Tried same method as used in iPhone to detect jailbroken but it does not work as per the reference link - How do I detect that an iOS app is running on a jailbroken phone?
NSString *filePath = @"/Applications/Cydia.app";
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath])
{
// do something useful
}
This method does not work, any API specific for tvOS app to detect jailbroken ?
You can check if any of these files exist (Cydia stuff):
/private/var/lib/cydia/var/cache/apt/var/lib/apt/var/lib/cydiaMany people also install OpenSSH on their jailbroken devices, so check for:
/usr/sbin/sshd/usr/bin/sshdIf Cydia is not installed - check the root partition permissions - /.
If you can read/write, the device is most likely jailbroken.
You could also try fork() - the sandbox won't allow it, hence it will succeed in a jailbroken environment.
Note: Keep in mind there's plenty of tools in Cydia and on the Internet to bypass jailbreak checks.
