    The app doesn’t contain malware when it’s uploaded to the play store. It forced an update after it’s installed that contains the malware.

      That’s not what I mean. I’m not thinking about Play Store security, but Android OS security. Like, your app physically has to ask for permission (or even require the user manually change settings) to do most unsafe things.
