Thought will drop a note on this thread and make everyone aware.Įdit: Looking at the comments just wanted to add SHAREit is not a small insignificant app (Playstore Screenshot below). I am just amazed that an app this big can get away with something like this. Upon looking into it more it turns out an app doesn't need any permission to get install and uninstall event on a device. To my surprise it was ShareIt, the app has over a 100 million installs and it is reporting every install and uninstall you do on your device to a chinese server along with device information, country, time, language settings and more. So I intstalled a firewall and blocked all app's and then one by one started checking which is reporting. I couldn't figure out which app was doing it. While doing some development work I realized everytime I would install a test build of my app on my phone Android Monitor (AndroidStudio) will show me a log basically posting that install to a chinese server.
