This is a security measure made by Google called “pairipcore” based on the binary file it runs from libpairpcore.so. Basically, it’s used to prevent abuse during app runtime. It mainly does three things:

Validate app was installed from Google Play (this is what the module bypasses)

Validates app signature to prevent resigning/repackaging

Detects and blocks Frida hooks and debuggers such as GDB

I wonder if this is similar to how they are going to enforce sideloading blockage.
