Hide Magisk Manager seems not working in v15....is this function been changed now ?

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.

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.

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?

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)

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?

Banking app works only when magisk manager was uninstalled

Hello together,
I would like to continue using my banking app that worked in the past aside my magisk installation. I simply had to activate hide in magisk manager and I was fine to go without issues.
Since latest updates, this banking app only works if I have uninstalled the magisk manager app. I think this way of "app detection" is different compared to normal su or safetynet checks...right?
As there is a feature in settings that randomizes the package name, what might be the problem that the banking app nowadays recognizes my manager app? I really just have to uninstall the manager apk, then everything is fine again.

It probably detects "Magisk" in the app name (rather than the package name that you can randomise). There are plans to circumvent this as well. No ETA...

So should I unistall xposed manager and removed the modul from Magsik?

Ive download it and now my apps works. However there are a lot of apps that cant be found on this LSposed app.
Can I used xposed app with this app? and if so how?

You should delete EdXposed from Magisk and flash LSPosed framework instead.
LSPosed has different approach than EdXposed. All apps are blacklisted by default, you have to check those which are to be hooked by a module. Please read this: https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed/wiki/How-to-use-it
Additionally, check filters in LSPosed Manager. Possibly you have all system apps hidden.

If the user who has used EDXposed has to make sure that there is nothing left in the directory, EDXposed can easily leave the files in the system and directory to cause detection
