<![CDATA[Android and system apps]]>This question is not only related to Qt for Android but it is a generic question on Android.

Is a system app installable only in a rooted device?
If yes wich is the right way to check if a device is rooted?
If not when a system app is installable?

My scenario is not a smartphone but a generic industrial device based on Android.

Is a system app installable only in a rooted device?

AFAIK yes. Since they are placed in a special place, separated from the user-apps and thus isn't accesible with the "runtime" user.

If yes wich is the right way to check if a device is rooted?

the most common way is to check for the "su" command being available.
