For each one of them there is a way to bypass as @JensV said, for example;

Detecting Frida by scanning local ports and or doing the D-Bus auth dance? Start "frida-server with --listen=unix:/path/to/sock" and then forward the socket to a local TCP port with adb forward tcp:27042 localabstract:/path/to/sock . Credit: t@leonjza
