I remember before was okay...when I clicked Hide Magisk Manager from setting, it will rename the app to unhide magisk manager......
But now after I clicked Hide Magisk Manager from setting....it will not re-create a new app for me....and the option for Hide magisk manager is gone in the setting....Just would like to know is this normal or I messed up something ? Please advise . Thanks a lot.
I updated today to version 15 and, in addition to brick my device, the hide function also does not work. I uninstalled the system, reinstalled version 14 and it's all right. I will wait for the correct corrections to update.
I have hide option. I'm using it to apps that detects unwanted root. For me works fine.

The function has changed. It will now repackage the Manager with a random name (you'll see it in the "About" section). That the option to hide the Manager disappears from settings simply means it's hidden. To unhide, install the Manager again. This also means that every time Magisk or the Manager is updated you'll have to rehide the Manager.
I tried again and the problem persists. Is there something new in this version 15 that needs to be configured differently?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Seriously though... Try toggling Hide off and on in the Manager settings, that might fix it for you.
Nothing, not even praying, but version 14 works perfectly. I'll continue with her then.
Checking the Samsung Pay app in Magisk Hide used to work but now it does not. I tried to hide the Magisk app itself but that isn't working either. The app's icon disappears from my home screen but still shows up in my app drawer. Any ideas? I really like Samsung Pay.

Thank you. But it still does not explain why hiding Magisk Manager doesn't work for me. It just deletes the icon from my home screen. It still shows up in the app drawer.

That's something completely different... But completely fine and as it should be.
When you hide the Manager, it uninstalls itself and installs a new Manager with a random package so that apps looking for the Manager doesn't trigger. That's why the home screen shortcut is removed, because the app actually is uninstalled.
Edit: and every time you update Magisk or the Manager this'll happen again, because whenever you reinstall/update the Manager, it gets unhidden. The repackaged Manager is uninstalled and the regular one takes over.

It's already been stated, but that's how it works. It's not hidden so that you can't use it. It's just been hidden by changing the package name to a random one. So, any app looking for the package name com.topjohnwu.magisk won't trigger if you've hidden the Manager.

Sorry about that. Then why isn't this just the default setting if it doesn't affect anything negatively?

No worries mate.
It's always best to keep things running as normal, unless you really need to... The repackaging feature is actually really complicated.
I'm using Magisk 15.3 and installed SafetyNet check then went to Magisk Hide in Menu and selected the apps I want to run as unrooted and it works. Try installing the safetynet check maybe it will work with you as well.

If I am getting the idea of this right, Magisk Manager is supposed to repackage itself with a random name so that it can't be seen by other apps? Or is it supposed to rename itself so when you look in the apps drawer, it is not called Magisk Manager?

Your first assumption is correct. The package name will change from com.topjohnwu.magisk to something random.

Ok, so what is it hiding itself from? Or when I hide other apps, what is it hiding them from? Like if I have a game I want to hide, it keeps the game in my app drawer, so it is not really hiding it from my own eyes.
I'm looking for a way to use Barclays App with my rooted phone (P8Lite). I thought Magisk will do it, but for some reason, it seems the app still detects the phone is rooted.
What I did:
- installed Magisk
- installed Barclays App (did NOT start the app!)
- Set Barclays App to Hide, in Magisk Hide menu
- rebooted the phone (just to be sure, I don't think it was required)
- checked if the app was still marked as hidden (it was)
- started Barclays App => It detected the phone is rooted
Anyone able to use Barclays App with rooted phone? If yes, how?
Cheers.
You forgot an important step: hiding the Manager itself.
More on hiding root in the Magisk guide.

Do you know if barclays app also detects other apps like xposed or Root Uninstaller? Like "indirectly" detecting if the phone is rooted?

I've never used the app... But, IIRC, it's one of the banking apps with dependencies.
If anyone was able to run Barclays app on rooted phone, I'd appreciate to share their experience.
Didn't work for me. Hid the app and magisk. Disabled Xposed and passed SafetyNet. Device showing certified under Playstore. App was starting and crashing.

If I hide the Manager, add the app and the phone app (com.android.phone) to the Hide list, it starts just fine. Otherwise it doesn't start and complains about a rooted phone. If the app has detected root once, I have to clear app data for it to work. Can't test more than that since I'm not a customer of that bank.
All of this is documented in the links I've posted above...

Will test using your workaround. Still, is weird that you need to hide the phone app. Any particular reason why this is needed?

I'm assuming you've cleared data for the Barclay app...
What about other known root apps on your device?

Yes, I did. Got one app hidden from Magisk and working.
@Didgeridoohan
As you've been asking about other root apps, I have the following:
-Magisk
- Greenify
-BusyBox
-Amplify
-Link2SD
-Root Uninstaller Pro
-SD Maid
(Not sure if I will install Xposed, but most probably I will)

If Busybox means that you have Stericson's or Jrummy's Busybox installer, yes those might trigger apps looking for signs of root. Use @osm0sis Busybox from the Magisk repo and you'll be good to go (it'll be hidden by Magisk, since it's a Magisk module). Root Uninstaller is another app that has been known to trigger a reaction.
But, easiest way for you to know is to freeze or uninstall those apps and see if it works.
If you install Xposed you can be sure that there'll be a whole lot of apps triggering. Xposed can't be hidden and need to be deactivated if there's an app you want to use that doesn't like it.

I've got few like Greenify, DNS changer and UMS enabler root apps. The rest is Magisk modules: Xposed and Busybox which were disabled when I was trying to launch Barclaycard app. It was complaining about the root just crashing after granting phone permissions. Got it working on my IPhone anyway. Thanks!
Good news:
Barclays app is working with Magistik.
I had to hide:
-barclays
-dialer
and as a precaution:
-app systemizer (magistik module)
-sd maid + Pro key
-Solid Explorer (as it can use root features)
I had to remove:
-Xposed (even though it was installed as magistik module)
-Amplify
I'm curious if there would be a way to DISABLE Xposed when Barclays is used, in a way that it won't be discovered (and no reboot required, ideally). In this way, maybe I could use Amplify... any ideas?
Main point is that I'm not using Barclays App all day long, so a small inconvenience would be accepted when I need the app, but Amplify is providing considerable benefit continuously, so it would make sense to have a compromise that keeps both with minimum of complications/discomfort.
Barclays App works if you hide it in Magisk Manager and you hide Magisk manager manager. No need to hide Phone Dialer.
If the described setup does not work, means your system is "dirty". In your case you had Xposed installed. Even if can be installed as a Magisk Module, YOU WILL BREAK HIDING SYSTEM IF YOU INSTALL XPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to make a decision. Pick one:
- Barclays
- Xposed
Next time search in the main Magisk support thread, because me and others have discussed about Barclays app many times.
I want to root my phone, but I want to check if Secure Mail works on rooted phone with Magisk. Can someone confirm? Thanks.
This is the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citrix.mail.droid
I tested it out. I added it into Magisk Hide within the Magisk Manager app and it started to work. However, the first time I tried, I was given an error.

Nice, but I'm on Pie, no Xposed herr
Are you suggesting it detects "Magisk" as keyword, so renaming the app would work? Or you added these rules in advance and aren't sure they are the key to success?

could you disable the keyword thing, reboot and test it? I have decompiled SecureHub, but the root detections are in native code, so didn't help to see what they detect.
My guess would be it's the app name, if the keyword helps. Then I just need to manually change Magisk app name, because the built-in rebuilding changes package name only.

My process to get Secure X working
I've got this working with a fresh install on Nexus 6, TWRP 3.2.3-0, LineageOS 15.1-20181226-nightly-shamu, Magisk Hide (Secure Hub, Secure Mail, Secure Web, installed from play store), Xposed Framwork V90 beta3 with RootCloak 2.1.1 added Secure Hub, Secure Mail, Secure Web. Btw I never opened Secure Hub or apps until Magisk and Xposed where fully configured.
Maybe too much info but its working good for me and thanks for the tips in the thread.
My issue is with magisk hide; when I try to check the box to hide GSF (com.google.android.gsf) it will enable hide but as soon as I exit magiskhide and reopen GSF is unchecked. I have tried everything I can think of including - clearing data gsf, reinstalling magisk manager, installing Canary manager and nothing works. Lastly if anyone has any advice for hiding root from chase bank app, I'd like to hear from you as well, I have tried locking bootloader, uninstalling, and installing within work profile using island, so far nothing works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would even be willing to pay for help with chase root detection.
Thank you all!! :fingers-crossed:

Normally changing Magisk Manager's name to anything else other than 'Magisk Manager' or 'Manager' and enabling Hide for the banking app does the trick for me, but I'm using other bank from another country.

You are awesome thank you, I tried using different search engines to find answers and for some reason this git page didn't show up. I don't know how this wouldn't be considered a bug, every other app has no issues staying selected (visually) but gsf can't keep a visual checkmark.
Hopefully it truly is hidden, and the gui bug is the only issue.
Hi
The new danish app Sundhedskortet (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.digst.hc&hl=en_GB) detects root, and think i have tried everything in my own toolbox.
anyone with suggestions?
Got it working with a tip from another tread:
"You can also use "shelter" to isolate what the apps can see"
thanks to @Lu5ck
Sundhedskortet detects the hidden Magisk app. Use Island.
Tried Island and Shelter.
Fixed my issue with AL-Bank, but Sundhedskortet still detects root.
Tried uninstalling from main profile and installing directly in the work profile, but still complaining...
Feeling a bit foolish now... Forgot to actually uninstall from main profile, noticed the duplicate in my launcher, uninstalled - and now works like a charm (Shelter, but guess Island would work similarly).

Hi - I have the same problem. Can you explain what you did step by step? I installed shelter and then installed sundhedskortet directly using Google play in my work profile but the app still detects root
Thanks!

I have tried installig shelter and island - installed Sundkedakortet on the work profile but still says root detected.
Can you tell me more specific what you did to make it work?
Im rooted with Magisk and Magisk hide is activated + Sundhedskortet is hidden.

Same issue. Sundhedskortet detects root, no idea how.
Using magiskhide, rename magisk and app is added in the magiskhide list.
