Migration Guide to Version 1.6.x

Malwarelytics for Android version 1.6.x introduces:

• a new RASP feature: runtime tampering (dynamic instrumentation) detection.
• breaking thread-safety changes to several RaspManager methods to fix potential ANR issues.

Summary of Config Item Changes

Config Item in version 1.5.x	Config item in version 1.6.x
N/A	RaspConfig.runtimeTampering(DetectionConfig)

Summary of API Changes

Affected APIs	API Change
RuntimeTamperingDetection	Class addition
RaspManager.isRuntimeTamperingPresent()	Method addition
RaspManager.getRuntimeTamperingDetection()	Method addition
RaspObserver.onRuntimeTamperingDetected(RuntimeTamperingDetection)	Method addition
RaspManager.getScreenSharingDetection()	Thread annotation changed from @AnyThread to @WorkerThread
RaspManager.isScreenShared()	Thread annotation changed from @AnyThread to @WorkerThread
RaspManager.getAndroidAutoDetection()	Thread annotation changed from @AnyThread to @WorkerThread

Thread Annotation Changes

The following RaspManager methods were previously annotated @AnyThread, implying they were safe to call from the main thread. This has changed - the methods must be called from a worker (background) thread now. The annotations have been corrected to @WorkerThread.

Method	Old annotation	New annotation
getScreenSharingDetection()	@AnyThread	@WorkerThread
isScreenShared()	@AnyThread	@WorkerThread
getAndroidAutoDetection()	@AnyThread	@WorkerThread

If any of these methods are called on the main thread in your application, move the call to a background thread to avoid potential ANRs.
