device profiles
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall, but 2 different certificates appear across the fleet, so OEMs ship their own builds of it.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 29 permissions: 4 runtime (user-granted), 12 signature or system-level, 7 install-time and 6 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Reported as an updated system app on 3 of 14 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
