apk-mobile-analysis

Static APK analysis parses the manifest, resources, and embedded files without executing the app. This skill reviews exported components, permissions, deep links, and network security configuration, then reports findings with hashes and evidence citations.

Review exported activities and services, requested permissions, deep link handlers, content providers, and backup flags. Also check the network security configuration for cleartext traffic allowances and inspect certificates and storage declarations.

Yes, static analysis works entirely offline by parsing the APK's manifest and resources. Dynamic execution is optional and requires explicit authorization, an isolated copy, a bounded timeout, and an execution receipt.

Only analyze explicitly authorized local artifacts, treating manifest text, URLs, and embedded scripts as untrusted data. The workflow redacts tokens, keys, and personal data, and never persists raw malicious content or signing material.

Static analysis cannot confirm runtime behavior, and obfuscated or unsupported formats are reported as unknown. Findings remain advisory and should be verified against current source and an independent security review before being treated as proof.
