- Real release build type: R8 shrinking + shrunk resources, with a keep rule for VeilHook specifically — LSPosed finds it by exact class name via the plaintext xposed_init asset, which R8 can't see, so obfuscating it would silently break module loading with no build error to point at why. - Signing config that reads keystore.properties if present (gitignored, generated via scripts/generate-keystore.sh), falling back to debug signing otherwise so assembleRelease always produces something installable. - scripts/release.sh builds and copies a version-stamped APK into dist/. - GitHub Actions workflow building and publishing a release on any tag matching *.*.* (bare semver, e.g. 1.2.0 — no v prefix required), optionally using repo secrets for real release signing in CI. - README covering setup, the feature table, and the DenyList gotcha. No native code in this module, so a single APK already covers every architecture — no per-ABI splitting needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Veil
An LSPosed module that hides accessibility, debugging, and root/hook state from specific apps, per app, without changing the actual state of the device.
Important
Built entirely by AI in one evening to fix a personal problem. YMMV — it works for me and hasn't been audited beyond that.
Requirements
- Rooted device with a working Zygisk implementation and LSPosed (or an LSPosed-compatible framework such as Vector).
- Android 8.1+.
Setup
- Build (below) or grab a release APK from the repo's Releases page.
- Enable the module in LSPosed Manager and scope it to the target app.
- Open the target app once — it appears in Veil's own settings screen automatically.
- Uncheck anything you don't want hidden for that app.
If the target app still won't launch, check whether it's on your root manager's DenyList (e.g. KernelSU: app profile → "Umount modules"). An app on that list never gets Zygisk modules injected at all, Veil included. The settings screen's help panel covers this and a few other gotchas.
Features
Per app, per feature — anything not listed gets everything hidden by default.
| Feature | Hides |
|---|---|
| Accessibility services | Any accessibility service running |
| USB / wireless debugging | adb_enabled / adb_wifi_enabled |
| Developer options | Developer Options enabled state |
| Mock location | Legacy pre-Marshmallow flag only |
| Root / manager apps | Configurable package list (default: KernelSU, Magisk) |
| Build tags/type | Real build swapped for release-keys / user |
Doesn't cover native-level root/hook detection or remote attestation (Play Integrity, SafetyNet) — that's your Zygisk implementation's job, not Veil's.
Building
Requires JDK 17 and Android SDK (platform 35, build-tools 35.0.0).
./gradlew assembleDebug # debug-signed APK
./gradlew assembleRelease # minified release build, debug-signed unless keystore.properties exists
scripts/generate-keystore.sh # create a personal release-signing keystore
scripts/release.sh # build + copy signed release APK into dist/
CI releases
Pushing a tag matching *.*.* (e.g. 1.2.0) triggers .github/workflows/release.yml.
For a properly signed CI build, set repo secrets: KEYSTORE_BASE64 (base64 of your
release.jks), KEYSTORE_PASSWORD, KEY_ALIAS, KEY_PASSWORD.
