Are you using an anti-virus app on your device?

An app that is unfamiliar to the anti-virus app could cause a false positive.

Hi @puppykickr thanks for your reply.
In every MI phone there is avast antivirus pre-installed. Is there any other way. Please help

Can you turn the anti virus off?
Generally speaking, anti-virus apps are pretty much junk anyway.

How to make my app familier to that antivirus

manojilov · Feb 7, 2020

Yes I can, but you can not tell everybody to turn off your antivirus.

Anti-virus does nothing on Android, as there are no viruses on Android.

The only way to make your app not show up is to have the anti virus company put it into their records.

Then anyone that uses that anti virus will hopefully receive an update to the anti virus app data.

It is much easier just to turn off an app that does nothing but run in the background all the time eating up battery life.

In fact, many anti virus apps have been shown to be more dangerous than none at all, due to the permissions they require.

Many even have permissions that they don't need.

But on other phone it's shows nothing. Why it's shows me as a Trojan in MI Phones only. Please suggest me some solution to remove this warning.

It looks lke Avast has flagged a part of it as a trojan.

So you need to contact Avast.

This seems to be a common issue regarding that engine:

@manojilov I've merged your several threads on the same topic. Keeping the conversation in once place makes it a lot easier for everyone to follow. Please use this thread for any future discussion of this particular problem.

As noted, though, it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot you can do about the false positive. You'll either need to convince Avast to whitelist the game engine's signature or convince the game engine's maintainers to do something to fix the problem from their end.
