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" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application>
