LiteScope: Revealing the Security Paradox of Android Lite Apps in Resource-Constrained Ecosystems

This record releases the artifact bundle for the paper "LiteScope: Revealing the Security Paradox of Android Lite Apps in Resource-Constrained Ecosystems". The artifact contains a submission-ready bundle for a unified cohort of 500 Android lite/full app pairs, including packaged data, recomputation scripts, paired analysis tables, experimental results, and 130 documented lite-app crash cases. Core analyses are recomputable directly from the released bundle. Some supplementary validations additionally require local APKs, Android SDK tooling, and/or a connected Android device, as documented in the bundle README and artifact map. The released archive includes: - paired dataset and metadata tables for 500 lite/full app pairs, - analysis inputs and outputs for UI retention, component retention, exported attack surface, permission changes, adware/malware outcomes, and market metadata, - crash-analysis results and root-cause annotations for 130 unique lite-app crashes, - selected device-backed validation evidence for differential lite-vs-full security cases, - documentation describing artifact structure, claim-to-file mapping, and recomputation order, - a verification report confirming bundle completeness and consistency. To avoid redistributing restricted or sensitive materials, the public release excludes APK files, excludes full marketplace review dumps and other large auxiliary collections, and masks credential-like tokens retained in raw manifest or MobSF-derived payloads.
