Hello, this warning has appeared after adding "gps enable" function by @domkrm , you can try version v1.8 it has not such function (and has not warnings). I thick it may be related with "write_secure_settings" permission in manifest pull request, where it was released - https://github.com/Seva-coder/Finder/pull/15 you can look all changes (I didn't notice anything suspicious...)

I'm pretty sure I'm not implemented any Virus ;) I think this is because "write_secure_settings" permission too. Maybe we should provide two versions of this app, one without "GPS enable" function and one with this function.

I will also try if the permission in the manifest is needed anyway or whether it is enough to give the permission via the ADB command.

Thank you very much for the quick feedback, I am now reassured. With such reports one is worried after all

I just tried reinstalling the application, and this time there were no warnings from google protect... In it's settings checkbox "improve harmful app detection" was enabled (it can send unknown apps to google) - may be they has checked this app?

I'm also getting this same error from this 3 apps even though I've had them for quite a while now.
