About apkTrusted

apkTrusted is an Android APK analysis platform focused on transparent technical reports and practical security insights.

Our Mission

Mobile apps handle sensitive tasks every day. Our mission at apkTrusted is to make APK internals understandable so users, developers, and researchers can review risk signals before installation.

We believe every Android user should be able to inspect permissions, components, SDK targets, file hashes, and network indicators in one clear report.

Why apkTrusted?

App stores usually show limited technical detail. apkTrusted focuses on the APK structure itself and turns complex metadata into readable sections.

Deep Manifest Inspection

We decode the AndroidManifest.xml to reveal every permission, service, and activity registered by the developer.

Security Risk Signals

We combine threat-scan outputs with APK metadata to summarize suspicious indicators in a consistent scoring model.

Architectural Insights

See which Native Libraries (C/C++) and ABIs (arm64-v8a, x86_64, etc.) the app uses to understand its compatibility and performance.

Privacy Centric

Uploaded files are processed temporarily and deleted after analysis. We keep report metadata for searchable results.

What We Analyze

When you upload a file to our platform, our engine performs several layers of analysis:

  • Static Analysis: We examine the code structure without executing it. This includes mapping all 4 main Android components: Activities (Screens), Services (Background tasks), Receivers (Event listeners), and Providers (Data sharers).
  • Permission Mapping: We categorize permissions into 'Normal', 'Dangerous', and 'Signature' levels, helping you identify if an app is asking for more access than it needs (like a calculator app asking for your SMS history).
  • Cryptographic Verification: We generate SHA-256 and MD5 hashes to ensure the file's integrity and to match it against global databases of known malware and safe software.
  • Risk Correlation: We correlate scan outputs, permissions, URL endpoints, and app configuration settings to produce actionable security and privacy indicators.

Our Technical Stack

apkTrusted Lite is built for speed and efficiency with a Go (Golang) backend and Fiber framework. It is designed to parse APK metadata quickly and present results in a responsive interface across desktop and mobile.

Our analysis stack is focused on static APK parsing and metadata extraction workflows suitable for large file processing and repeatable reporting.
