So, code updates from the server doesn't matter as we can hook all of the audio recording APIs at a system level. Their _only_ defense IMHO is to NOT do it on Jailbroken devices. You are right, it's super easy to detect jailbroken devices.

Technically they can also check if you hooked on the recording APIs. This is like a rabbit hole :)
