Devs, do you monitor your app's integrity on 3rd party stores?
Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
We all push clean code to Google Play or App Store. But we know the reality: users download our apps from everywhere (APKPure, Aptoide, torrents, etc.).
I've been working on a security tool, APKFeed, and I realized something scary: Many "cracked" or "ad-free" versions of popular apps in the wild are injected with malware or have exposed API keys. But most developers never check these versions because it's hard to find and analyze them manually.
I’m curious:
Do you actively search for leaked versions of your apps?
If you find one, do you have a process to check if it's malicious?
We are launching APKFeed on Dec 9th to automate this process (finding leaks + dynamic security analysis).
If anyone wants to test it, we are offering Free Advanced Security Reports for the launch. Check a sample report here to see what I mean: apkfeed.io/sample-report
Would love to hear your thoughts on "wild" app distribution!
