Description

Affected app
Name: CWA (Corona-Warn-App) v.2.21.1
Package id: de.rki.coronawarnapp

Describe the bug

  • I am running /e/OS 0.23-q on a FP3.
  • Since the latest update of the app I am facing an issue. CWA considers the device being rooted. It is not the case.

I reported the issue as well to CWA: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-android/issues/5112

To Reproduce

Expected behavior
Running the CWA should work in a flawless manner on official "Googled" devices as well as on custom ROMs without notifying a system root if it is not the case.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked CWA issue and reproducing the report on /e/OS 0.23-q with Android 10, CWA 2.21.1, and microG Core 0.2.24214816-1. Compare behavior on the reported custom ROM and an official Googled device; done means CWA no longer reports the device as rooted when it is not.
