Comment on Developing for Android is like being a demonetized YouTuber

Comments

Security on Android is a joke. Google may shut down completely legitimate developers' accounts and remove useful permissions, yet they will still allow malicious apps like Cheetah Mobile's Ram Booster to be in top 10 most downloaded apps of the Play Store...

case in point: the MalwareBytes app is no longer allowed to access SMS message info, so it cannot examine links in SMS messages.

so there's a legit security app which can no longer function as effectively as it did before the Google Play Store eliminated its access to the SMS permission.
