Is app-release (1).apk safe?
New Android APK with zero engine detections but no sandbox or signing data available.
The file shows no malicious detections across 74 engines, yet it is a brand-new rare submission with no sandbox or signing evidence. Coverage is too low to reach a definitive verdict.

Before installing
Treat the file as unverified and avoid installing it until more evidence is available.
If you already installed it
Run a full device scan. If its origin cannot be confirmed, delete this app and use a fresh copy from a trusted source.
Intelligence
The saved assessment, checked against the scan evidence and recorded coverage.
The reasoning behind this verdict
This section explains the evidence supporting the verdict and keeps conflicting or missing signals visible.
The file shows no malicious detections across 74 engines, yet it is a brand-new rare submission with no sandbox or signing evidence. Coverage is too low to reach a definitive verdict.
All 74 engines returned clean results with no tier-1 or low-trust malicious flags. The APK is only one day old and has a single submission, placing it in the rare_new category. Signing is not applicable to Android packages, and no sandbox execution data exists. External intelligence sources also returned no hits. Because the file is both new and lacks runtime coverage, the evidence is insufficient to classify it as definitively safe or malicious.
What We Detected
74 antivirus engines scanned the APK; none flagged it as malicious or suspicious. No YARA rules, CIRCL entries, or MalwareBazaar signatures matched the sample.
Threat Behavior
No sandbox execution data is available, so network activity, dropped files, or runtime techniques cannot be assessed. The file has not been observed contacting any hosts in our cache.
What To Do Now
Because the sample is brand-new and lacks runtime coverage, treat it with caution. Avoid sideloading until additional sandbox or community analysis becomes available. Keep Android security features enabled.
Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
- Zero detections on a brand-new rare APK could reflect low coverage rather than confirmed safety; absence of sandbox data leaves runtime behaviour unknown.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- zero detections across 74 engines
- no external intelligence hits
- rare_new classification with only one submission
- no sandbox or runtime observation available
- contacted-host reputation check not completed
Do not install until further sandbox or community analysis is available; keep device protection enabled.

What to do now
There isn't enough information to give this file a clear rating.
- Recovery step 01
Be cautious — an unknown rating is not the same as a clean bill of health.
- Recovery step 02
Install it only from Google Play, the developer's official store, or another source you independently trust.
- Recovery step 03
When in doubt, don't install it — or scan it again later once it's more widely seen.
