Title
Identifying Android library dependencies in the presence of code obfuscation and minimization.
Abstract
The Android platform has gained tremendous popularity since it was unveiled in 2007. Currently it holds a global market share of 78.4% with 1.5M activations of Android devices per day. In the US alone, there are 76M Android users. The main Android app market, Google Play, offers over 2M apps with a history of over 50B downloads to date. These impressive statistics provide strong motivation to understand, and improve the quality of Android apps. In this work, we focus on a key question in this space, which to our knowledge has not been previously addressed; namely: Can we determine the library dependencies of a given Android application without access to its source code?
