      Android app does not run on rooted device?

      Appetize runs Android emulators that are very similar to the Android emulators provided by Google. So, if you encounter any issue, it's often easier to troubleshoot on the Android emulators locally, and then re-upload to Appetize. 

      Appetize runs Android emulators that are very similar to the Android emulators provided by Google. So, if you encounter any issue, it's often easier to troubleshoot on the Android emulators locally, and then re-upload to Appetize.
      The standard Google-provided Android emulators do come with su. So, some apps can detect this and have limitations to run on rooted devices. 
      If that is the issue, and you would like your app to run on Appetize, you may detect when your app is running in Appetize.and skip your rooted check in that case. 
      For convenience, we set the key "isAppetize" to true when streaming apps. For more information see our Launch Params documentation.
