       I've encountered an #Android Manifest which lists many apps in a "queries" field. The Android doc says this is the way to specify your app wants to discuss with the listed apps.Any more details on this someone? What does this give access to? Have you already seen it in #malware?cc: @maldr0id @apkunpacker @frenchyeti @verovaleros @alex_burris

       @cryptax @maldr0id @apkunpacker @frenchyeti Funny that it has a long list of that permission, rather than just QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES.  I guess the idea is that the long list is harder to flag?  I think the dev docs on this recommend avoiding a long list.  As far as I know, these permissions control getting PackageInfo and related things https://developer.android.com/training/package-visibility
