Hey fellas I got it working and others apps detect magisk before.

Update to latest v23
Install modules riru and riru unshare
Remove data from tan app
Go to magisk hide and tick all process to hide included the isolated
Start the tan app and do the activation again.

Problem you need wait 2 days to activate because comdirect use new activation process for photo tan app.

Working fine all version 8.3
This works like charm. Just did it today
Thank you so much been struggling for ages with that ****
1. I deleted all data for photo tan app and prevented it from gaining any permissions (especiallo I disabled the permission to find what other apps are installed)
2. I activated magisk hide for photo tan
3. I installed "riru" from magis modules search from within the magisk app
4. I googled for "riru unshare", downloaded the zip from github and installed it with magisk installer app (modules "install as zip"
5. reboot
6. open photo tan and it works (have to do a new activation though)

noted: I did not have to do any further configuration of the modules

@pa.pn2 probably a bit out of topic here, but I found several information that you will need to wipe when updating from A11 to A12 and keeping root so you are trying to re-setup now and application does not start?
I dirty flashed android 12 yes.
Maybe i will do a clean flash and we will see what happens.
I also have problems with YouTube music. It doesn't play my music files somehow lol

I just got an update of the PhotoTan app ... and even though it was added to magisk hide it failed to start due to detecting root :-(
Looking at the hidden processes there is a third process now which needs to be hidden, too.
After that I only cleaned the application cache and the app started again :)

Can you go into more details about that process? What is it called and where can I find it to select it for magisk hide? Ty!

@edwardenglish It came out that due to the update of the PhotoTan-App the isolated process was no longer hidden in MagiskHide. I added it again to the hide list and cleaned the cache of the PhotoTan-App. After that I was able to access the application again.

Did you install the new version 8.4.0?
Even for 8.3.2, the version before, it is necessary to check the 3rd process in MagiskHide

    Since version 8.3.0 additional measures to detect root have been added, do not update as MagiskHide won't be able to prevent detection. Until a solution is found I would recommend staying on the previous version for as long as possible.

    Finding out what exactly is causing the root detection is beyond my technical abilities but I would provide as much information needed to those willing to help.

    The solution found by @pxrave appears to be working:


    Hey fellas I got it working and others apps detect magisk before.

    Install modules riru and riru unshare
    Remove data from tan app
    Go to magisk hide and tick all process to hide included the isolated
    Start the tan app and do the activation again.

    Problem you need wait 2 days to activate because comdirect use new activation process for photo tan app.

    Working fine all version 8.3


    Link to the Riru Unshare module:
    11
    1. deinstall old magisk-app
    2. install canary.apk
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/canary/app-debug.apk
    2.1 install safenet-fix modul
    https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/download/v2.2.1/safetynet-fix-v2.2.1.zip
    (will not be active until you finished step 3.)
    3. repatch boot.rom with "install" & "direct" (installieren & direkte installation)
    4. after that reboot, etc... it should look sth like this
    1.jpg

    5. go to settings (red arrow)
    6. hide app (2.), enable zygisk (if not allready running) 3, enable deny-list (4), config deny-list (5)
    2.jpg

    7. enable all 3 processes
    3.jpg

    8. add other apps you may need in deny-list... like google pay & google play services

    during the hole process you may have to reboot your phone

    To get rid of the Airplane mode (or toggling data off/on) I figured how to block the connection to the upgrade service right on the phone. The requests go to 'api.comdirect.de'.

    Use blacklist in TrackerControl
    -> Settings / Advanced options / Import hosts file (append)

    Create a file on the phone with this content:
    0.0.0.0 api.comdirect.de

    This way I can leave the connection to the internet on when starting/using the app.
    No version check can be performed, so the app should work forever ...

    One cannot use the TAN push service anymore but only the „photoTAN Grafik“.

    So guys
    My favorite solution:
    Magisk canary
    Riru
    Riru unshare
    Riru lsposed
    Xprivacilua 1.30

    Safety net is ok
    Phototan working
