Android Security - Why Code Review is important ?

I actually only want to get attention to importance of code reviews and existing of unreliable apps. Sorry Mr/Mrs user but many of your apps that you have on your phone is disclosing your privacy (Surprise ! )

I am attaching my old article to the post . There are more things to write about Android Security. And attached work doesn't have any information about importance of the code review. It discusses only some important mistakes that could happen during the development and underline some possible problems .

If you are only an user, you should know that the communication between your app with the Internet is transparent. This exposes your actions and information clearly for "who-wants-to-read-it". In the attached article I expose in detail about the approach. Checking the owner and app reviews may not help you to trust the app 100%, but it helps to give you enough information for your decision about that app .

If you are a developer attached article should give you some idea about importance of code-review even though there is even no single words about code- review there . Idea should be (in the end) no matter which API you are using if you are not the owner of it you HAVE to check the code and understand all parameters before you use it. Each member of the team should be aware of possible attacks for important steps such as payment.  In my attached article you will find some old stories of big companies and their mistakes that makes all apps those are using their API's to have security vulnerabilities. 

Reproducing some mistakes that is indicated in the attached article is not possible  anymore. For example leaving the app in debug mode(in production WOW debuggable = true o_O) is not possible anymore if you are using Android Studio. However, these mistakes still shows why CODE REVIEW is important. It is important because four eyes see more than two. Developer revise twice the code before go to production and give it less change of bugs.

Have a great weekend!
