How can I check the amount if there is no screen on the device?

It's designed to be integrated with a mobile app via our Terminal SDKs (https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/sdk/ios).
How do I know that the device is really running your mobile app, not a copycat app and the real app is running on a device under the table or elsewhere? Seems like an easy thing to fake.
By the same reason you know you're not going to get mugged by the cashier, because it's illegal.
