That seems a little excessive for an app like this. The only way I know of that users can fake their location is with a rooted device. I check for rooted devices in the app though so locations can't be spoofed.

Device doesn't have to be rooted to spoof the location.

Also, I hope you're not using Play Integrity (lol), because that means all the old phones you allow can be rooted, hide it from you and/or spoof positive chdck result........ because they're insecure like sieves..... Whilst you'd be banning modern and unrooted phones.

>> I check for rooted devices in the app

Is that possible on iPhone, or only on Android?

So presumably this will be an evil app that reinforces Google monopoly by using Play Integrity?
