They're all trash because none of them run at the root level or even ask for root access. All they can do is whine if they find an infected file. They can't even do anything about it.

Not gonna happen if you got hit with a root exploit and they're installed as system apps. Even malware running as a user app can be difficult to get rid of w/o factory resetting.

How does Google know if an app a developer has submitted to the Play Store is a malware or not? I mean whats the technical difference between, a "child safety" app that tracks GPS, keystrokes, camera, and a RAT malware designed with malicious intent to spy on people?

Better example I can think of: A silly game requires network and file access permissions. What stops that app from sucking up all your photos and documents and uploading them to a server in Russia, instead of using those permissions for what is theoretically intended (storing game assets, multiplayer)

When developers submit an app to the Play Store do they have to submit the src code so Google can audit their code or something?
