I'm using ReactNative. I want to know if there is a way to programmatically detect if usb debugging mode is enabled and prevent user from using app if it does.
I try searching around for document about this on react native but nothing useful comes up
In React Native, you can use a package like react-native-android-usb-debugging-mode
to detect whether USB debugging mode is enabled on Android devices. Heres how you can do it:
bashnpm install react-native-android-usb-debugging-mode
bashreact-native link react-native-android-usb-debugging-mode
javascriptimport USBDebuggingMode from react-native-android-usb-debugging-mode;
// Check if USB debugging mode is enabled
USBDebuggingMode.isEnabled()
.then(isEnabled => {
if (isEnabled) {
// USB debugging mode is enabled, take appropriate action (e.g., prevent app usage)
// You can show a message to the user or prevent certain functionalities
} else {
// USB debugging mode is not enabled, continue with app functionality
}
})
.catch(error => {
// Error occurred while checking USB debugging mode status
console.error(Error checking USB debugging mode:, error);
});
Remember that this package is specific to Android and wont work on iOS since iOS devices dont support USB debugging mode like Android devices do. Additionally, keep in mind that users may find ways to bypass these restrictions, so this approach should be used judiciously and as part of a broader security strategy rather than relying solely on it for security.
