Identify the Built-in Frida version

When using Frida, especially with a local Frida client, it's important that the major versions of Frida and the target frida-server match. A version mismatch between frida-server and your local Frida client will result in compatibility issues. If you're unsure about compatibility, the safest approach is to ensure your local Frida client and the frida-server being used by the virtual device are using the exact same version.

info

The built-in version of frida-server that the virtual device uses is determined at device creation. This means that when a Corellium update includes a new Frida version, only devices created after the update will automatically use the updated frida-server version.

  • Run this on the virtual device to return the current version of frida-server being used:

    frida-server --version

    In this scenario, you can either downgrade or upgrade your local frida client to match the version of frida-server being used by the device, or follow this guide to easily change the version of frida-server on the virtual device.
