I'm surprised the author didn't pick up on the class/package names: a quick Googling of "Paydiant" shows that this is likely all a result of a third-party loyalty/payment integration they've used: http://www.paydiant.com/ http://www.paydiant.com/
- rwestergren 11y agoI was pretty sure of the 3rd party integration, but still am not sure why they're checking if the user's device is rooted. I suppose for payment processing, they consider it a security risk?
- jccalhoun 11y agoIn the reddit thread the article links to it mentions people spoofing gps to fake checking in at places to get loyalty points. So even if Subway doesn't have something like that it might be that the 3rd party does and they are trying to prevent people from faking checkins?
- burntcookie90 11y agoThat doesn't require root though, just enable fake locations in dev settings and use an app for it
