MobileIron detects Magisk's systemless root

Has anyone been able to get Magisk to work with MobileIron (enterprise device admin app)? I'm on a Nexus 6p with Magisk 13 beta and it detected that my device was rooted and disabled the MobileIron app.
Note: my devices passes the SafetyNet checks just fine

Have you added the app to the Hide list?
More things an app might detect can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828
Check under "Other things to try".

I did try hiding without luck. I wonder if MobileIron's Device Administrator status somehow bypasses that.

Try uninstall the magisk manager app, any sudo management apps, etc.
Then if that doesn't work, try uninstall some of the well known root apps like titanium backup etc.

Yup, this is probably it. Out of curiosity i decompiled the apk, and it looks like mobileiron relies pretty strongly on package names, I didn't get the list (pulls from a server), but its probably looking for known root related apps.
Dont know how to solve that.
That mobileiron stuff looks terrible.

That's a very interesting way for it to be done.
If you are using an adblock, maybe check where it is polling from and block that IP through your hosts file.
Otherwise, you don't actually need the MagiskManager once everything is set up. If you uninstall, you still have root and MagiskHide working in the background, so maybe go for this and ensure that MobileIron is included in the MagiskHide list.

tried removing all suspicious apps (old SU apps, busybox, Magisk, etc) but still seems to see it
edit: nevermind, looks like Root File Explorer was the culprit

Please elaborate for the culprit,
Do you manage to run mobileiron with magisk?

Well it stopped giving me the root error message, yes. However, the email app doesn't seem to work for me, but that may be a separate issue.

Try to reinstall the app. I've Magisk V13 beta on Android 7.1. Secure Mail app (another type of enterprise email app) works fine. One time, it stopped working. I had to reinstall it to make it work again.

I had the same issue (firm is shifting all their Android users onto [email protected]). Spent untold hours with support and finally they realized there was a problem with my account ActiveSync at their end. The Mail+ app wasn't supposed to be asking for password at all.
Once they flipped the switch on that, everything worked.

at the moment i have the some problem with that root detection.. i don't know how to solve :-/ in the pasted it worked with magisk-hide.. but now :'-(

months later.. anykind of solutions?

When the company I worked at moved to MobileIron, I refused to put it on my device. They bought me (and paid service for) an iPhone for work and installed it on that.
If they require your off-hours attention, but don't consider you valuable enough for that investment, you may want to consider moving to a company that considers you less expendable.

it is not really a solution if you are independently, but thanks for you reply

I have been trying to achieve this as well, removed all root apps but still got an email saying that my device is rooted

Unfortunately, this is still an issue with the latest beta (16.6).

Any update here? I am experiencing the same issue

Banking app crashes

Hi,
I have a banking app wich loink I provide hereby: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsi.ruralviawallet2
In the latest versions it just crashes, and after force closing and few opening and closing the app tells me that the system is modified and cannot run.
I have MAGISK 16 with magisk hide and the app checked to hide root, USB debugging deactivated as well...
Tried to use the uninstall magisk and un-SU scripts and cache clean but still crashing, So it may not have anything to do with Magisk, but since I had it installed it may have left something over there that the app is detecting as a mofied system...
Any Ideas ?
Thanks so much for your help

Make sure to also hide the Manager. I can open the app just fine if it's added to the Hide list and with the Manager hidden.
There might also be other things causing issues... Check here for more tips:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps

Thank you
Anyhow it's still not working, I have uninstalled all the apps that can be only runt with Root in case that was the cause, but still crashing. The Phone is unrooted now...
I will try now to Re-intall Magisk and hide everything, see if it does work :S
If anyone has a similar issue or idea, all help would me much appreciated.
Thanks again

When you don't have Magisk installed there are a whole bunch of stuff that may trigger the app that MagiskHide otherwise hides. Try with Magisk again...

Thank you very much for your help!!
For people that's having the same issue, I've solved it uninstalling several apps like TWRP MANAGER, ROOT EXPLORER and other apps that can only be used with root, after did a wipe cache and rebooted.
Take care with TWRP, when you install the recovery it asks to install an APK and usually almost everyone hits yes. This app is most likely detected by some apps and considered as system modification. @Didgeridoohan thank you!! ( It may be useful to put tjis in your Wiki for everyone to be warned about this so you dont receive this question again )
Reinstalled Magisk, Hid the Magisk Manager, selected the app to hide on the list and it worked!
Everything's fine now.
Thanks a lot for you kind help

Can Barclays App be used on rooted devices with Magisk?

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?

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)

No, I mean: Do you have any apps on your device that the Barclay app might detect? Kind of like below...

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.

Magisk Hide not working for Pokemon Go

I'm using a Galaxy S8, Android 7.0, Magisk 16.6. When I try to play Pokemon go, it gives me the "OS not supported" message. The 16.3 fix didn't work back when it came out and I haven't been able to play since then. I did check the app in Magisk Hide and I activated the setting to hide Magisk Manager with a random package name, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I should do?

The only thing you can do that will work is to completely uninstall magisk. That should let you play pokemon go.

Pokemon also looks for a bunch of known root apps on your device, not only Magisk. And MagiskHide can't hide other apps.

There are a whole bunch... Busybox installers, system cleaners, etc. There's an old list available somewhere in the Magisk PoGo thread (search), but that list might be outdated. Easiest thing is to uninstall some root apps and see if it works better.

An easier alternative, if you have the means to do it, is to use a clean spare phone/tablet for Pokemon Go, and keep your phone how you need/want it for everything else. Bluetooth data sharing is enough bandwidth to make PoGo work.

Sure.
Make sure you have Pokemon on the Hide list.
Hide the Magisk Manager (in the Manager settings)
Delete the MagiskManager folder on your internal storage (next time you download/install a module through the Manager the folder will be recreated).
Edit: There will likely be an update to Magisk that will hide the MagiskManager folder. But for now this is a workaround.

Hmmm, tried all this, but still PoGo will not comply, even when I sandbox it in the work profile. (island app) The latter sounds a bit strange to me, as it should limit access to anything. (Magisk Manager gets installed, but is hidden)
To be honest, PoGo is just a test for when they start messing with Ingress as well. When it's getting to much trouble to have the app behave, it's out. They are just games, nothing to compromise my device for.

Also rename or delete every file or folder on your internal storage / sdcard that contains "magisk"

Any file? Not only the directory, but one that can be found somewhere on the device/external sdcard? (Like Magisk-v16.7.zip which you need to install it...)
Strange it should see it when sandboxed.

You can try, someone else said so, I did also do it and had no problem anymore so far.
But you should be right, that when its sandboxed it should not see it anyways...

Before using the hide magisk manager option, make sure magisk manager is NOT a system app. This will successfully repack magisk manager.
Then delete magisk fodler from internal storage and hide PoGO.

May be other ROMs come with integrated Magisk. That was the case in mine. Convert it to user app first.
Then try magisk hide again and look for the package name in app info (It should be something random). Then continue with other steps as it is and it should work fine.
Let us know how it goes

Hi togehter,
if you use the Fake GPS Route, then uninstall via TWRP Magisk and then works PoGo (new version) perfekt, that works with my Samsung S5
I have a problem with my Samsung S7 edge, if I uninstall Magisk, then I have the problem, that the S7 go to a bootloop <--- Have anyone a idea?
Samsung S7 Edge
6.0.1
SecurePatch 01.12.2016
TWRP Recovery
If I install Magisk again, then boot the Samsung S7 without a bootloop, but then dont work PoGo
Xamel

Uninstall in the magisk app not by flashing a zip in recovery

Before I rooted my XZ premium I played pokemon go Just fine, afer Just enabling developer options (still locked bootloader and not rooted) it did not work Annymore, switching off developer options fixed pokemon go again.
Now with properly rooted Phone with magisk busybox, and whole bunch of rooted apps I am stuck as wel.... bonkers!!! !!

Could someone find a solution?

Chase Mobile App detecting root

Using the MIUI 10 EU rom right now and I'm still having issues trying to figure out how the app detects root.
App - Chase Mobile Banking App
This doesn't allow me to use reward points, but also does not allow me to add new contacts on their QuickPay Zelle.
The error message that appears is "For your security, the chase mobile app is not available on devices that have been "rooted" or contain malware".
Tried MagiskHide and even hiding the Magisk Manager (renaming it as well) itself to no success. SafetyNet passes and has no issues with other apps. Anyone have any ideas on what to do or what files it looks at?

After hide magisk tick for this app you'll have to reboot. If not working it's possible that this app has a second installed service apk which you have to hide too.

I tried this option too. Any idea what second service it would fall under? Thanks

This is an old thread, but I also ran into the same problem on my Pixel 4a 5G. In my case, using Magiskhide on the Chase app and renaming Magisk Manager got things working again. I'm also using the 'Universal SafetyNet Fix' Magisk module to keep SafetyNet happy.
However, the problem came up again for me around the time that I started using the Elemental X Kernel. I've returned to my stock Magisk-patched boot.img and Chase seems happy again. Maybe it's related, and maybe not.
You might want to take a look at your root apps and see if uninstalling any of them helps. If you are running a custom kernel, could try returning to your Magisk-patched boot.img too. Once you find out what Chase is detecting, then you may be able to rename/repackage the offending app and be on your way.
Edit: I read in another forum that simply installing the Chase app in Island may work, but I have not tested this. It should work with Shelter as well, since it's essentially the same thing (isolated work-profile app-management). I prefer Shelter myself, and use it to run two instances of the eBay app at the same time.
Edit 2: There is a more current thread here on XDA that has been keeping up with this issue. Anyone looking for the latest info check here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/chase-app-always-detects-root.4099627/
