How to Detect Unity Cheats in Android Apps Using AI

Last updated July 1, 2025 by Appdome

This Knowledge Base article describes how to use Appdome’s AI/ML in your CI/CD pipeline to continuously deliver plugins that Detect Unity Cheats in Android apps.

What are Unity Cheats in IL2CPP-based Mobile Games?

Unity cheats in IL2CPP-based mobile games are a form of runtime manipulation in which attackers modify native game logic—such as physics, health, or scoring systems—without altering the original app binary. Instead, they exploit weaknesses in Unity’s compiled metadata files like global-metadata.dat or inject malicious code directly into memory. These cheats bypass standard static analysis and signature-based defenses, making them difficult to detect using traditional methods. Attackers often use tools like memory editors, custom patchers, or game hacking frameworks to alter gameplay values on the fly, compromising game balance, enabling fraudulent behavior, and violating platform security rules. This manipulation threatens competitive fairness, enables cheating-based monetization scams, and can result in non-compliance with anti-fraud and integrity standards set by platforms and regulators. As mobile games grow in popularity and sophistication, IL2CPP-based manipulation has become a favored target due to its power and subtlety, requiring purpose-built defenses that work at runtime.

Why Detect Unity Cheats in Android Apps?

Appdome’s dynamic Detect Unity Cheats plugin for Android monitors Unity IL2CPP functions in memory at runtime. It compares live function behavior with trusted metadata captured at build time, detecting injected code or tampering. If a discrepancy is found, the app can take immediate action, such as blocking specific gameplay features, logging the event, or closing the app. Mobile developers can use Appdome’s Threat-Events™ to gather data on Unity cheat events and create custom user responses when cheat attempts are detected.

Prerequisites for Using Appdome's Detect Unity Cheats Plugins:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Detect Unity Cheats , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for Detect Unity Cheats
Mobile App (.apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

How to Implement Detect Unity Cheats in Android Apps Using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these 3 simple steps to create self-defending Android Apps that Detect Unity Cheats without an SDK or gateway:

Designate the Mobile App to be protected.
1. Upload an app via the Appdome Mobile Defense platform GUI or via Appdome’s DEV-API or CI/CD Plugins.
2. Android Formats: .apk or .aab
3. Detect Unity Cheats is compatible with: Java, JS, C++, C#, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, Cordova and other Android apps.
Select the defense: Detect Unity Cheats.

Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Detect Unity Cheats feature as shown below:

Figure 1: Fusion Set that will contain the Detect Unity Cheats feature

Follow the steps in Sections 2.2-2.2.2 of this article to add the Detect Unity Cheats feature to your Fusion Set via the Appdome Console.

When you select the Detect Unity Cheats you'll notice that the Fusion Set you created in step 2.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Detect Unity Cheats.

Figure 2: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Detect Unity Cheats protection
Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).

Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set. Copy the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):

Figure 3: Fusion Set Detail Summary

Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Circle CI or other system:

Refer to the Appdome API Reference Guide for API building instructions.

Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository.

Add the Detect Unity Cheats feature to your security template.

Navigate to Build > Anti Fraud tab > Mobile Cheat Prevention section in the Appdome Console.
Like all other options in ONEShield™, Detect Unity Cheats is turned on by default, as shown below:
Figure 4: Selecting Detect Unity Cheats
Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.

Toggle On > Detect Unity Cheats.

(a) Choose to monitor this attack vector by checking the Threat Events checkbox associated with Detect Unity Cheats as shown below.

(b) To receive mobile Threat Monitoring, check the ThreatScope™ box as shown below. For more details, see our knowledge base article on ThreatScope™ Mobile XTM.

Figure 4: Selecting Detect Unity Cheats
Note: The Appdome Platform displays the Mobile Operation Systems supported by each defense in real-time. For more details, see our OS Support Policy KB.

Select the Threat-Event™ in-app mobile Threat Defense and Intelligence policy for Detect Unity Cheats:

Threat-Events™ OFF > In-App Defense
If the Threat-Events™ setting is not selected. Appdome will detect and defend user and app by enforcing Detect Unity Cheats.

Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Detection
When this setting is used, Appdome detects Unity Cheats and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing, enforcement, and user notification. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Detect Unity Cheats Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.

Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Defense
When this setting is used, Appdome detects and defends against Unity Cheats (same as Appdome Enforce) and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Detect Unity Cheats Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.

Configure the User Experience Options for Detect Unity Cheats:
With Threat-Events™ OFF, Appdome provides several user experience options for mobile brands and developers.

App Compromise Notification: Customize the pop-up or toast Appdome uses to notify the user when a threat is present while using the protected mobile app.

Short message Option. This is available for mobile devices that allow a banner notification for security events.

Localized Message Option. Allows Appdome users to support global languages in security notifications.

Figure 5: Default User Experience Options for Appdome’s Unity Cheats

Detect Unity Cheats Threat Code™. Appdome uses AI/ML to generate a unique code each time Detect Unity Cheats is triggered by an active threat on the mobile device. Use the code in Appdome Threat Resolution Center™ to help end users identify, find and resolve active threats on the personal mobile devices.

Initiate the build command either by clicking Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 4) or via your CI/CD as described in Section 2.1.4.

Congratulations! The Detect Unity Cheats protection is now added to the mobile app

Certify the Detect Unity Cheats feature in Android Apps

After building Detect Unity Cheats, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Detect Unity Cheats protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Detect Unity Cheats protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 6: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Detect Unity Cheats has been added to each Android app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Detect Unity Cheats and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app.

Using Threat-Events™ for Unity Cheats Intelligence and Control in Android Apps

Appdome Threat-Events™ provides consumable in-app mobile app attack intelligence and defense control when Unity Cheats are detected. To consume and use Threat-Events™ for Unity Cheats in Android Apps, use registerReceiver in the Application OnCreate, and the code samples for Threat-Events™ for Unity Cheats shown below.
