SuperSU is a discontinued proprietary Android application that can keep track of the root permissions of apps, after the Android device has been rooted.[2][3] SuperSU is generally installed through a custom recovery such as TWRP.[4] SuperSU includes the option to undo the rooting.[5] SuperSU cannot always reliably hide the rooting.[6] The project includes a wrapper library written in Java called libsuperuser
for different ways of calling the su binary.[7]
History
[edit]Since 2012, SuperSU app is all maintained by the original author Chainfire himself.[8]
In 2014, support for Android 5.0 was added.[9]
In September 2015, SuperSU was acquired by a Chinese company called Coding Code Mobile Technology LLC (CCMT), raising concerns about privacy, but Chainfire promised he was closely auditing the changes that CCMT made.[10]
In 2018, the application was removed from the Google Play Store[11] and the original developer Chainfire announced their departure of SuperSU development, although others continue to maintain it.[12] As of 2018, many users already switched to Magisk.[13]
