New to installing beta iOS. Installed iOS 14 yesterday, banking APP reports - this device appears to be jailbroken. Is it normal to see this? I think would be logical if the App checks for iOS it supports.

iPhone SE2, never been put of my physical control.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Jailbreak detection is inherently brittle so problems like this crop up from time-to-time (1). If you’re responsible for this app, you should update its jailbreak detection code (or, better yet, remove it). If not, you should report this to the app’s author.

I received the same dialog box the first time I used the USAA app after installing iOS 14
