Package intelligence
Observed signing, permission, version and size signals from contributing devices - descriptive of that sample, not a verdict. These come from the v2 Package Search sync, which not every device has contributed to yet, so for some packages this detail is partial or not present at all.
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Xiaomi), so it is an OEM preinstall, and that single certificate is consistent across all 4 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 39 permissions: 11 runtime (user-granted), 4 signature or system-level, 14 install-time and 10 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 1.0 MB to 3.1 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (39)
Largest permission set observed for this package. Text is Android's own published description where one exists; platform permissions Android does not document show their granted protection level (in grey) instead; vendor or unknown constants show the name only.
