That could be one way Google could handle it, but if they do it this way, they have to maintain a huge byte code DB of all Apps, not seems to be a very efficient way.
Providing obfuscation support in the build package or adding extra security layer in the Android platform itself is more manageable i guess..
- _delirium 16y agoThis is the company that maintains a huge copy of the entire internet, and runs queries (including "is this site just a clone of another one?" type queries) on it, so on a technical level, they can probably do it. Of course, whether it's worth it to them to do so is another story.
- fredliu 16y agoThat's definitely true, technically it could be done, similar to some plagiarism detection software used in academia to tell the level of similarities between publications. But I still think tweaking on the client side would be a more cost-efficient solution... but I agree, they are Google, they should always have free servers and cpu powers to throw in :)
