Root/Jailbreak Detection Implemented

Description

The application detected that it was running on a rooted/jailbroken device and responded by terminating, blocking sensitive functionality, or displaying a security warning.

This indicates the app performs runtime checks against known indicators of an elevated-privilege environment, reducing the impact of runtime instrumentation, sandbox bypass, and tampering attacks that depend on such an environment.
