Avast-Mobile Malware warning?

[sikaiser]

I've been using the doki library in an Android app. Since a recent update that I published to the app, it has been getting flagged as Malware by Avast-Mobile.

In that update I changed from jcenter to MavenCentral, and upgraded compileSdkVersion from 31 to 33 (and made some other changes completely unrelated to doki). But I am not sure what triggered these reports.

What I do know however is that I was able to fix them by removing the doki library from my app. I do not know if the reports were false alarms, why removing doki fixed it, etc. But wanted to report it here in case anyone finds this information useful.

The implementation I had used, was:
(in app build.gradle)

implementation('dev.doubledot.doki:library:0.0.1@aar') {
        transitive = true
}

(somewhere in my main activity)

        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DokiActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
