Official Magisk Support For Android O & Google Pixel/Pixel XL Is Coming Soon

If you are a rooted user, you might have experienced that some of your favorite apps won't allow you to use them because your device is rooted. Applications such as Mario Run and Pokémon Go check whether your device is rooted or not and if you are rooted, you won't be able to use these applications. However, with Magisk you have the ability to still run these applications, even when your device is rooted. If you wish to use any banking applications or services like Android Pay on your rooted Android device, then Magisk (along with it's modules) can help you out.

Upcoming Features

Here are some planned features (sorted in priority)

* Magisk Manager resetprop GUI

* MagiskSU multiuser support

* Unified Magisk daemon: As stated before, I'm planning to write Magic Mount in code to achieve more efficiency and features.

All current Magisk features (magiskpolicy, magiskhide, resetprop, superuser, magic mount) will be in a unified daemon

* Pixel (XL): Some developers has done some progress, I'll contact them and sort things out

* Android O: I bought a Nexus 5X now, finally got some O love

Recognised XDA developer topjohnwu has posted an update to Magisk. The changelog he posted suggests that official Magisk support for Android O and the Google Pixel/XL is on it's way.
