Still others go virtually unnoticed but indirectly affect, as the latter has been discovered in the Android M preview strengthens the monitoring of APKs.
With the arrival of the new version of Android, the APKs climbing on Google Play will be checked to ensure that files containing match what declared in the manifest to ensure that none are missing, something that happens now with Lollipop.
