Low reputation apps

Hello,

One of the apps I'm developing is flagged as a low-reputation app, for the following security consideration: Trigger installation (This app can ask Android to install another app).
The problem is, that I didn't add a mechanism to install apps, so I'm wondering what might be causing this alert.
Could it be something in the manifest or some third-party library?

Is it possible to have more information about how Sophos X Intercept (Android) detects if an app triggers installations?

Thank you for reaching out to the community forum.

Based on the scenario you've shared, the app's Reputation feature is turned on, which is why you're getting this low-reputation notification.
For further explanation as to why you get the detection you may refer to this KBArticle.
If you wish to increase the app's reputation and avoid receiving such notifications, follow the steps stated here.

Thank you for your answer.

It seems that I cannot submit a sample to increase an app reputation without being a client (a client account is necessary to log in on the support platform). Is there a workaround?

Is there a way to have more info about the security consideration: Trigger installation without contacting support (since the first article you mentioned doesn't cover it)
