When mainstream security tools (Tencent, Kingsoft, etc.) flag your Android app as malicious, appeal through the channels below and check the app against the common causes.

Common Triggers

1. The package name is randomly generated, or resembles (or matches) a deprecated package name or the package name of a published app that has been reported multiple times;
2. The APK isn't signed with a dedicated certificate (use a separate Android signing certificate per app);
3. The app has been reported by multiple users;
4. The app isn't listed on mainstream Android stores, but is similar to an app that is;
5. The download URL itself is flagged as risky;
6. The app name involves prohibited content or infringes on a well-known brand, trademark, or IP.
