- Groxx 5y ago... except that they most definitely do still happen in spite of that. But yes, they do tend to mean less obviously-just-malware apps.
- sumedh 5y agoSure, the official App store can do that but that does not mean the user should not have the option to side load apps.
- Arnt 5y agoGetting this kind of behaviour past review is simple, and malevolent apps do happen. Google has a clever technique for detecting them (after review) and it's good, but slow. It has a decent chance of detecting the app after a few attacks, and works by analysing which apps were installed on phones just before a factory reinstall.
