The ACTION_MAIN loophole has been written about before: https://commonsware.com/blog/2020/04/05/android-r-package-vi...

Google refuses to patch this. I wonder what would happen if you submit it to the Android VDP as a permission bypass.

There’s also this SO question by the author about the bypass: https://stackoverflow.com/q/79527331

What do you mean with "refused to patch this"? Google will reject any app publishing attempt that asks for that filter and isn't a launcher on Play store.

How is that congruent with the article's claim that 31 out of 47 apps they tested had this filter?

>>whatev+1E
No idea, but we did have apps rejected because of similar permissions.
