Android Question Still Apk in Naugat detected as virus

[Cassie]

Hi Guys,

I'm still having issue with android naugat that it detects then app as a virus, I have already created my own private key.

Any advise or solution is appreciated.

Hello,
Which virus does the antivirus detect, please ? If for example your app is sending sms than the part of code could be wrongly detected as a virus (I already had that).
Perhaps could you tell us a bit more about ? Thanks

Hi lemon,

yes, im sending sms in my application, but some of my apps which also sends sms do not have a virus warning, sometimes its hard to explain to end user thats is a false positive, I also use my own private key, can you tell me which part in the sms code is detected as a virus.

Thanks in advance.

Which antivirus?
I have Avast Antivirus that shows a warning when I send an app by USB, but if I put the app in Google Play and download it, don't shows the warning.

Hi asales,

My apps is designed for specific users only and it is not upload in Google Play since it is not a generic apps for consumption. Im using a huawei mate9 and Vivo and Oppo phones also detects it. My client get annoyed when installed in their phone.

There is no virus in your app. The antivirus suspects your APK because it was not downloaded from Google Play. There isn't much that you can do about it unless it provide more specific information.

Thank you erel for your response, I try to break the code into pieces to find out what particular code is detected as virus even though it has no virus some clients and end users does not really understand technicalities.

Thanks
