Restricted Access

When You See This Screen

The Restricted Access screen appears when DavianVault detects a security issue with your device that could put your data at risk. This is a protective measure — the app blocks access until the issue is resolved.


What You See

  • A large red security icon
  • The heading "Access Restricted" in red
  • A violation type badge identifying the specific issue:
ViolationWhat It Means
Rooted Device DetectedYour Android device has been rooted (superuser access enabled)
Jailbroken Device DetectedYour iOS device has been jailbroken
Developer Mode EnabledDeveloper/debugging mode is active on your device
Emulator DetectedThe app is running on an emulator, not a real device
Debugger DetectedA debugger is attached to the app process
Security Check FailedA general security check did not pass
  • A violation details section with more specific information
  • A "Why This Matters" card explaining: DavianVault stores sensitive information and compromised devices increase the risk of unauthorized access
  • An "Exit Application" button (red)
  • A message: "To use DavianVault, please resolve the security issue and restart the application."

What You Can Do

The only action available is "Exit Application" — which closes the app.

This is intentionally a dead-end screen — there is no way to bypass it or navigate to other parts of the app. DavianVault refuses to operate on a compromised device to protect your data.


How to Resolve

Rooted Device (Android)

  • Remove root access (unroot your device)
  • Or, if you intentionally rooted your device, be aware that DavianVault will not run on rooted devices

Jailbroken Device (iOS)

  • Remove the jailbreak (restore your device to factory settings)
  • Or use a non-jailbroken device

Developer Mode / Debugger

  • Disable developer options on your device:
    • Android: Settings → Developer Options → turn off
    • iOS: Disconnect from Xcode and restart the device
  • Detach any debugger tools

Emulator

  • Install and run DavianVault on a physical device — emulators are not supported for security reasons

After resolving the issue, restart the app — it will re-check your device and allow access if the issue is resolved.


Why DavianVault Does This

Rooted/jailbroken devices and emulators have weakened security protections. On such devices:

  • Other apps could potentially read DavianVault's encrypted data
  • The secure keystore (where encryption keys are stored) may be compromised
  • Screen recording and input monitoring tools could capture your passwords

By refusing to run on compromised devices, DavianVault ensures your passwords, notes, cards, and documents remain protected.
