Well, the mentioned analysis app the researchers placed on the Play store is potentially quite useful. If Google will "bless" it -- can we at least have a link to a copy of their statement as posted securely on their own domain?
The Android ecosphere particularly with respect to security is a really good case for the appropriate use of the word "clusterfuck".
And even once a user is aware their phone may not be up-to-date, it's not easy for them to determine this nor what they are missing.
So, why not at least give users a good overview of this? Turn them into a more informed consumer?
Unless all you want to do is push ads at them...

- cryptoneed 9y agothe opensource git will soon contain this update as well, then it will make its way to F-Droid ;)
- pasbesoin 9y agoThank you for that. I see it requires non-standard access to the OS. What I meant was, to see Google endorsing it -- on their own site(s). Even if/where they do, obviously in its current state the app won't be functional for the average user. Sorry, I didn't read further in before making my comment. Regarding that, it would be useful if Google provided or enabled such a tool for the average, locked-down user to review the exact state of their Android OS (less carrier specific modifications) and updates to same.
