Troubleshooting Tips
If you see the message such as: “Application has violated security policies and it will be shut down”, this means that (1) techniques such as emulators, tampering, or reverse engineering are present, and (2) the Fusion Set does not contain Appdome Threat-Events. This is likely because the user is running their automation testing tool in ’emulator testing’ mode, which Appdome protects against.
Automation test tools can typically can be used in two modes: emulator mode and manual mode. If you use your automation test tool in “emulator mode” instead of ‘manual testing’ mode, the Appdome-secured application will not run on the device.
