Hi, I am using Windows 11. The Virus & threat protection found Trojan from Applovin SDK. When I build the APK, It also blocks my APK because of Trojan. When I download APK from my android phone, Google Chrome also warning to me that it may harmful.

Please help me check because the clients/users are worrying about that and they think wrong about us.

Thank you.

Hi - you can ignore this. The file it is detecting is from our OMID SDK, which is an advertising industry standard for measuring ad viewability.

I am also worrying about it. Even if it is because of OMID SDK, which is an advertising industry standard for measuring ad viewablility, normal users don't know about it. Do you have any other workarounds?

Sorry, I might need more context. Chrome / Gmail will always consider APKs harmful. If users download your app from the Play Store it should be fine.

Hi @thomasmso The windows defender and many other android antivirus apps also detect that is malware/trojans. For ex the above image, the windows defender detects that is a trojan. We have millions of users, we could not explain it to each user. There are 20% already removed our app. That is an urgent issue for us. Do you have any way to remove that in the build? If not, we have to go back to version [10.3.5] to avoid that issue.(https://github.com/AppLovin/AppLovin-MAX-SDK-Android/releases/tag/release_10_3_5)

Let me check with the OMID team.

@congdanh1608 / @clevsh - Could you try again with our latest SDK v11.1.3? It bundles against a new version of the OMID SDK.
