on-device analysis #85

I was just thinking about the whole region-specific problem as well as app size limit.

With ClassyShark3xodus and all, why not do more on-device analysis which would then upload the results to Exodus' server?

You could do code analysis w/ jadx (or whatever), network analysis w/ NetGuard or this fork https://github.com/OxfordHCC/tracker-control-android, then upload the results.

That might aid in server resources and get more reports.

Also take a look at ClassyShark3xodus which has that already implemented – based on the Exodus library (enriched by mine). Unfortunately its code is hosted at Bitbucket, but it's open source using Apache-2.0 licensing. Maybe a cooperation can help getting this lift-off faster.

An on-device analysis would help to cover paid apps. Since user scans can't be trusted, maybe you could add a tag online to mark user scanned results as not trusted unless multiple users uploaded the same results.

Btw, that's how Appbrain does their scans (with their app on the users' devices) :wink:

Hello everyone! :wave:

I appreciate your enthusiasm and your proposal(s) for this :)

This being said, our main concern at the moment for the εxodus Android application is:

  1. to make it available again on the Google Play Store (it has been removed for some days/weeks now)
  2. to find new maintainers to make sure the app can continue to live (for bug fixes and new features)

Once that's done, we can discuss such new features :wink:
