Enabling Accessibility Service Detection in Your Application

In order to take full advantage of the accessibility service malware detection service, your application may need to be update allow more in-depth package queries to be done by the analytics agent.

By adding a query intent to your Andrdoid manifest, the detection logic will have a bigger set of information available to it. Please see below for the information in question.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
....
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.accessibilityservice.AccessibilityService" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
....
</manifest>

Once enabled in your application, the application must be reprotected in order for the change to take effect.

Detecting accessibility service rely on a combination of methods, both client and server, and while efficient, there are still cases where the detection will not be accurate.
