DeviceChecker Class Reference

Execute the checks related to the device security and software. More...

Description

By default device checks will be run when the application is launched (cold start) and any risks notified via the ThreatStatus notification. However as the status of a user's device could change whilst an application is running, it may in some circumstances be advisable to re-run the checks. For example, when a user requests to make an financial transaction or is asked to enter sensitive information.
