Other Antivirus false positive

[Alessandro71]

One user mailed me this screenshot

text says: "the application contains a virus. it is advised to uninstall it"

clearly my app is not a virus
it's published on the Play Store, so it's scanned by Google Play Protect and it was never flagged as harmful
i also have Microsoft Defender on my phone, and it's not complaining either

i can't identify which antivirus the message belongs to, and can't either think of any code in my app that may trigger such a flag

no other reports from other users so far...

Such annoying things happen from time to time. Do make sure not to use the debug key to sign your app (if you already did it then it is not trivial to change the key).

No debug key, a private, app specific key
