Why Android App Penetration Testing is Critical?

Android apps often store sensitive data on the device, rely on API tokens, and interact with custom backend logic. These elements create multiple attack vectors that can’t be caught by automated tools alone.

At Peneto Labs, we’ve tested Android applications across fintech, e-commerce, healthtech, and government platforms. Our team holds industry-leading certifications such as OSCE, OSCP, GAWN, GXPN, and GIAC, ensuring every engagement is handled with top-tier expertise and up-to-date offensive security skills. Our team specializes in Android-focused techniques including code decompilation, runtime analysis, and real-world exploit simulation tailored to uncover platform-specific threats.

Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of an Android application penetration test depends on the app's size, complexity, and the depth of testing required. For a basic Android app with standard functionality, the assessment can typically be completed within five to seven business days. 

However, more complex apps—such as those with multiple user roles, encrypted communications, or backend API integrations—may take up to two or three weeks. At Peneto Labs, we provide a precise timeline during the scoping phase to ensure smooth coordination and timely delivery.

Android app penetration testing should be performed regularly—at least once every year or every time the app undergoes major updates, integrations, or changes in features. 

Frequent testing is essential because the Android platform and threat landscape are constantly evolving. Each new release, library update, or SDK integration could introduce new vulnerabilities. Regular assessments help ensure your app remains secure, resilient, and aligned with industry best practices.

Yes, Android penetration testing is a proactive step toward meeting Google Play security requirements. While Google performs automated scans during app submissions, these are limited in scope. 

A manual penetration test done by us helps identify deeper security issues such as insecure data storage, improper permissions, unencrypted communication, and code tampering vulnerabilities. By addressing these concerns in advance, you reduce the risk of app rejection, poor user reviews, or security-related takedowns from the Play Store.

At Peneto Labs, we test across a wide range of Android OS versions to ensure comprehensive coverage. While we focus on the most widely used and supported versions—typically Android 15 through the latest release—we can accommodate specific version testing based on your app's user base and deployment needs.

We also consider the diversity of Android devices and screen sizes to simulate real-world usage scenarios during our assessments.

Yes, we offer complete remediation support once the Android penetration testing is complete. Our final report includes detailed explanations of each vulnerability, its root cause, and actionable recommendations for your developers tailored specifically for Android environments. 

In addition, our security team is available for consultation to help them understand the findings and implement effective fixes. We also provide a free retesting option to confirm that all critical vulnerabilities have been properly resolved.

Android applications are often prone to vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, improper use of platform features, exposure of sensitive information through logs or backups, weak cryptographic implementations, insecure communication with APIs, and poor authentication mechanisms. 

Reverse engineering and code tampering risks are also common in Android apps due to APK accessibility. Our testing identifies these and other real-world risks by simulating attacker behavior and assessing both static and dynamic security flaws.

Yes, our Android app penetration testing is conducted using ethical, non-disruptive methods. Whenever possible, we recommend testing on staging or pre-production builds to eliminate any chance of interfering with live users. 

If production testing is unavoidable, we coordinate closely with your team to ensure controlled execution. Our testers follow responsible disclosure practices and strictly avoid data corruption or service downtime during the assessment.

After the test, you will receive a comprehensive penetration testing report that includes a categorized list of vulnerabilities, severity ratings, detailed technical descriptions, and step-by-step remediation guidance. 

The report also features an executive summary for business stakeholders and can be mapped to compliance frameworks or internal policies if needed. We offer a debrief session to review the findings with your technical team and help you prioritize fixes based on risk.

The cost of Android app penetration testing usually starts from a basic package and increases based on app size, features, and backend integration. Our service includes static and dynamic analysis, testing for common Android-specific vulnerabilities, and a detailed remediation report. Pricing is finalized after a scope discussion with our team.
