Partial Building the UI and reading installed app permissions is straightforward via standard Android APIs, but performing on-device static bytecode/DEX analysis to identify third-party tracking SDKs offline requires specialized reverse-engineering knowledge.
What it would actually take: The app needs to read the APK files directly using Android's PackageManager, parse the DEX bytecode structure without crashing or high memory overhead, and compare package names or class signatures against a curated offline SDK fingerprint database (like Exodus Privacy). The challenge is writing an efficient, low-memory on-device bytecode parser in Kotlin/Java that complies with Android storage and sandbox restrictions.
