Inspect the APK

Have this app's APK or XAPK file? Upload it to see the ad & analytics SDKs it bundles, a hidden home-screen launcher or accessibility access, the AdMob app id, and the full permission list — read straight from the file, nothing installed. Bring the file from your device or a mirror; we never fetch it from Google Play.
