Security V.20.03.25.apk -

| Permission | Risk Level | Justification | |------------|------------|----------------| | android.permission.INTERNET | Info | Required for network communication. | | android.permission.READ_SMS | High | If app is not an SMS handler, this poses privacy risk. | | android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES | High | Allows app to sideload APKs – potential malware behavior. | | android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION | Medium | Tracks user location. | | android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | Medium | Data leakage risk. |

Verdict: Permissions exceed typical "security" app needs. Flag for review.

Every APK must have a manifest. This file tells the Android OS what the app is and what permissions it needs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.securityapp">
<!-- Permissions often requested by security apps -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:exported="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
