“…Ionic provides efficient performance with minimal DOM manipulation. This framework includes a command-line interface that lets you build Android [11,12,13,14,15] and iOS apps, saving you the hassle of programming. The Ionic framework mainly focuses on the front-end user experience or UI interactions that take care of the overall look and feel of the App.…”

The need for e-commerce is primarily for business actors such as Anugerah PC, which is engaged in PC repair and sales services. Since the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the industrial world, more time has passed, and ideas have emerged to build digital-based applications, even mobile-based ones. Digital-based, for example, is the existence of an application website that is very user-friendly but needs development, such as the development of an Android mobile or iOS mobile application, depending on the operating system used by the mobile device. This research is one of the answers to this problem. Anugerah PC built a mobile-based application to answer the challenges in the current 5.0 industrial revolution era. So, with this application, Anugerah stores can get a lot of followers, especially customers who are ready to buy at Anugerah stores. Anugerah PC shop can be the best in sales through e-commerce with a very flexible Android Mobile system.

“…In the same year, [9][10] [11][12] [13][23] also improved the obfuscation technique by using similarity analysis to detect repackaged apps. [14] used an obfuscation technique in the Kotlin programming language, which is a new language in Android application development, and in 2019, [15] used an obfuscated logic bomb which will be triggered when the application has been modified.…”

The rapid growth of Android applications has led to more cybercrime cases, specifically Reverse Engineering attacks, on Android apps. One of the most common cases of reverse engineering is application repackaging, where the application is downloaded via the Play Store or the official website and then repackaged with various additions or changes. One of the ways to avoid Application Repackaging attacks is to check the signature of an application. However, hackers can manipulate the application by adding a hook, i.e., replacing the original function for getting signatures with a new modified function in the application. In this research, the development of a verification method for Android applications is carried out by utilizing Dex CRC and the Blake2 algorithm, which will be written in C using the Java Native Interface (JNI). The results of this study indicate that the verification method using Dex CRC and the Blake2 algorithm can effectively protect Android applications from Application Repackaging attacks without burdening application performance.

“…Shah et al [17] have studied the usage of Proguard, an obfuscator tool, to prevent App Repacking attacks. The authors showed that by using Proguard to obfuscate the published application, the decompiled code becomes much harder to read and understand for attackers.…”

Java programming language has been long used to develop native Android mobile applications. In the last few years many companies and freelancers have switched into using Kotlin partially or entirely. As such, many projects are released as binaries and employ a mix of Java and Kotlin language constructs. Yet, the true security and privacy implications of this shift have not been thoroughly studied. In this work, a state-of-the-art tool, KotlinDetector, is developed to directly extract any Kotlin presence, percentages, and numerous language features from Android Application Packages (APKs) by performing heuristic pattern scanning and invocation tracing. Our evaluation study shows that the tool is considerably efficient and accurate. We further provide a use case in which the output of the KotlinDetector is combined with the output of an existing vulnerability scanner tool called AndroBugs to infer any security and/or privacy implications.
