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.

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

No idea, but that is a quite common detection method...

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?

Thanks! Followed your tip but no luck. App crashing straight after giving phone permission.

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.

Does Citrix Secure Mail app work with Magisk?

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.

I will only get that Error, without also hiding the manager

quickedit called from secure mail detects root, while quickedit stopped detecting it if called directly after added to magisk hide
Seems Magisk doesn't hide fast enough on intent or something

Use Root cloak xposed module and select the apps. Plus add 'Magisk' in ' Add/remove keywords hidden by RootCloak'. It works...

Thank you!
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?

I added the magisk keyword as a precaution. Without xposed, root is detected when if you change the package name and app name..

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.

Also, this guy should not be shaken hands with :laugh:

Rootcloak works even after deleting magisk from the keywords. But if I delete the rootcloak, quickedit detects root even after changing the package name and app name.

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.

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...

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/

"Sundhedskortet" detects root

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!
Peter

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.

Have you uninstalled from main profile? And then remember to reboot. Mine didn't work till after reboot.

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