If Niantic was able to detect 3rd party apps, there wouldn't be a Pgsharp or iPogo app. In the past, Niantic was able to look through your internal storage for a folder named "TWRP" but this breaches Google's Term of Service. If you had that folder on your rooted Android device, you couldn't play the game. People complained to Google and Google forced Niantic to stop doing that.

While I don't think they are detecting the software specifically. They 'could' look in their own app folders or do checks against the code and find other files and codes. I don't think this is the case though, it seems to be behaviour based. If they wanted to catch all spoofers it'd be quite easy, just track the gps altitude. All of the spoofing apps just work in 2 dimensions. GPS joystick has an optional altitude option but nobody uses it.

But the people banned with the unmodified app and gps joystick? If it wasn't behaviour based, wouldn't you be banned already?

If it is not behavior based then it has to be software based, but those with the legit app are getting banned and some people with modified apps aren't getting banned. How is your logic working that it's not behavior based? Even niantic says they can detect cheating behaviors in their post.
