@IzzyOnDroid @thomas Dunno if it is related, but it seems that besides Google, Ikarus is misdecting StreetMeasure APK from izzy as being infected by "Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakeInst"
e.g. I've downloaded de.westnordost.streetmeasure_7.apk from izzy, and it is exactly the same file as one downloaded ages ago from Google Play (with sha256sum 9711592efeab66fc47454a628abcb88d25356d24a80de34882b2ff4cd1f921af)
and virustotal says this: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/9711592efeab66fc47454a628abcb88d25356d24a80de34882b2ff4cd1f921af

@mnalis that "combination" is not uncommon, but hadn't caused any issues in the past. What I dislike there, is that especially Google never gives a reason: "detected" – what? "malicious" – why? How shall you fix "blind allegations"? And as for Ikarus: SMS Trojan, huh? Very funny. The only permission the app requests is to access the CAMERA. No SMS, no Internet, nothing. Snakeoil. @thomas
