I don’t have any of these, but is the software some apk you download, and at that point can’t that be inspected?

- spankalee 3y agoWho inspects APKs? The Play Store has all kind of automated and manual processes to detect malware and vulnerabilities. It's why I don't enable side-loading on my phone.
- mcsniff 3y agoPlease tell me you're joking or missing the sarcasm tag. The Play Store is notorious for allowing absolute garbage apps in, regardless of the "risks" of sideloading.
- palata 3y agoThat's not incompatible. They do a lot for security, even if malware still manages to get there. One would assume that the most popular apps get more attention.
- cheesemayo 3y agoThe APK is a thin shell that downloads even more code to execute, from the internet. So, what you download and inspect isn't what's executed, and what you execute now might be different in 5 minutes.
- hashtag-til 3y agoOk understood. That was the context I was missing. Thanks
