Magisk: Is the Root coming to an end? - Its creator joined Google's Android Security team

Ο John Wu, is the Developer responsible for the development of the popular Magisk, has officially joined Google as a member of the Android security development team.


Ο John Wu is the one who created it Magisk, a tool that can help all Android users who want to do Root on Smartphones and have full control of their device.

Ο John Wu became a member Apple, as a practitioner 2019, and started working in the team Machine Translation as a full - time employee from 2020.

That's it Root one Android smartphone can several times cause problems with various security features that the Google, As the Google SafetyNet API. But through him Magisk created by John Wu, managed to bypass this problem by activating Root to level boot.img leaving the android system partition unaffected.



As announced by the popular Developer on his account at Twitter, will join his team Android Platform Security, which will be exciting for him, however, it is not yet clear what position he will take in this team.

It is also unclear what will happen from now on with its future development and support Magisk, now that its creator has joined the "another group». It's difficult to serve two camps at the same time, one trying to enhance the security capabilities that Google incorporates through Safety Net API, and in the opposing camp that aims to bypass all of these Google barriers by granting Root permissions via Magisk.

We believe in his future Magisk will be judged in the coming weeks when Google will take new security measures through an upgrade, and it will be impossible in the current version of Magisk to bypass them without further intervention by John Wu, who must update his code Magisk so that it can reactivate Root successfully.

Maybe we should get ready for it end of ROOT on all Android devices, with all that this implies for the independent Developers who need Root for their applications but also for the custom ROMs which develop from time to time.
