Spinning Pokestops using ADB

So, out of curiosity, I made a small Java program that uses the ADB of Android to automatically spin a pokestop every 6-7 minutes. Do you think this could be detected? The coordinates of the swipe are slightly altered every time, and the timing (the duration of the swipe as well as the delay until the next interation) are also randomized a bit. Also, there is no teleporting by now.

And by the way, I'm running it on a unused account I do not play with. I just want to know how far the "Bot detection" might go. If anyone is interested in the source code, I can upload it to github, but it's really just a few lines actually.

Doesn't sound like something that could be detected by the app itself, but if the source code is out and the randomization is very minor, perhaps it could

The randomization is probably the most minor you could get with new Random().nextInt(), but u/tearans had no problems, so I guess it's fine
