How to Detect Google Play Store Emulators with Appdome Protected Android Applications

Last updated June 16, 2024 by Appdome

Learn to Detect Google Play Store Emulators in Android apps, in mobile CI/CD with a Data-Driven DevSecOps™ build system.

Why Detect Google Play Store Emulators?

Detect Google Play Store Emulators provides the capability to ensure that mobile applications can recognize and distinguish between Android Studio Emulators and Google Play Emulators used by Google Play. This functionality is critical for allowing the app to accurately identify these emulators as safe and sanctioned environments, enabling automated tests to interact with the app without triggering the security mechanisms intended to defend against unauthorized emulators.

How Does Recognizing Google Play Store Emulators Support Mobile App Development?

Detecting Google Play Store emulators provides substantial benefits for Android developers. By recognizing and approving the use of Google Play’s specific emulators, developers can ensure that automated testing processes—like user interaction simulations and other app operations—do not inadvertently activate the application’s security protocols. This seamless integration between automated testing and the app’s security features allows the application to comply with Google Play’s stringent testing requirements while maintaining its defensive integrity. Consequently, this feature not only streamlines the development and testing workflow but also enhances the app’s security by accurately targeting and triggering security responses to genuine threats.

Included Features with ONEShield™ for Google Emulators:

Threat Events In-App Detection: Appdome detects if Google emulators are present on the application and passes the event in a standard format to the app for processing (your app chooses how and when to enforce). We recommend implementing the detection of Google Play emulators during production releases.

Failsafe Enforcement: This feature allows developers to selectively manage the enforcement of specific detections, providing an additional layer of customization to security settings. Simply toggle the Failsafe Enforcement option within the Appdome settings to activate this feature.

Both features are included as part of the ONEShield™ license, enhancing security and flexibility without additional costs.

To learn more about failsafe enforcement and threat events, please refer to this knowledge base article: Threat-Events in Android & iOS Apps Explained.

Prerequisites for Using Detect Google Play Store Emulators:

To use Appdome’s mobile app security build system to Detect Google Play Store Emulators , you’ll need:

Appdome account (create a free Appdome account here)
A license for ONEShield™
Mobile App (.apk or .aab for Android)
Signing Credentials (see Signing Secure Android apps and Signing Secure iOS apps)

Detect Google Play Store Emulators on Android apps using Appdome

On Appdome, follow these 3 simple steps to create self-defending Android Apps that Detect Google Play Store Emulators without an SDK or gateway:

Upload the Mobile App to Appdome.
1. Upload an app to Appdome’s Mobile App Security Build System
2. Upload Method: Appdome Console or DEV-API
3. Android Formats: .apk or .aab
4. Detect Google Play Store Emulators Compatible With: Java, JS, C++, C#, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity, Xamarin, Cordova and other Android apps
Build the feature: Detect Google Play Store Emulators.
1. Building Detect Google Play Store Emulators by using Appdome’s DEV-API:
  1. Create and name the Fusion Set (security template) that will contain the Detect Google Play Store Emulators feature as shown below:
  2. Follow the steps in Sections 2.2.1-2.2.2 of this article, Building the Detect Google Play Store Emulators feature via Appdome Console, to add the Detect Google Play Store Emulators feature to this Fusion Set.
  3. Open the Fusion Set Detail Summary by clicking the “...” symbol on the far-right corner of the Fusion Set. Copy the Fusion Set ID from the Fusion Set Detail Summary (as shown below):
    
    Figure 2: Fusion Set Detail Summary
    Note: Annotating the Fusion Set to identify the protection(s) selected is optional only (not mandatory).
  4. Follow the instructions below to use the Fusion Set ID inside any standard mobile DevOps or CI/CD toolkit like Bitrise, App Center, Jenkins, Travis, Team City, Circle CI or other system:
    
    Build an API for the app – for instructions, see the tasks under Appdome API Reference Guide
    
    Look for sample APIs in Appdome’s GitHub Repository
2. Building the Detect Google Play Store Emulators feature via Appdome Console
  
  To build the Detect Google Play Store Emulators protection by using Appdome Console, follow the instructions below.
  1. Where: Inside the Appdome Console, go to Build > Security Tab > ONEShield™ section.
    Like all other options in ONEShield™, Detect Google Play Store Emulators is turned on by default, as shown below:
    Figure 3: Detect Google Play Store Emulators option
    Note: The App Compromise Notification contains an easy to follow default remediation path for the mobile app end user. You can customize this message as required to achieve brand specific support, workflow or other messaging.
  2. When you select the Detect Google Play Store Emulators you'll notice that your Fusion Set you created in step 2.1.1 now bears the icon of the protection category that contains Detect Google Play Store Emulators
    
    Figure 4: Fusion Set that displays the newly added Detect Google Play Store Emulators protection
  3. Select the Threat-Event™ in-app mobile Threat Defense and Intelligence policy for Detect Google Play Store Emulators:
    
    Threat-Events™ ON > In-App Detection
    When this setting is used, Appdome detects if Android Studio or Google Play Emulators are being used and passes Appdome’s Threat-Event™ attack intelligence to the app’s business logic for processing, enforcement, and user notification. For more information on consuming and using Appdome Threat-Events™ in the app, see section Using Threat-Events™ for Detect Google Play Store Emulators Intelligence and Control in Mobile Apps.
  4. Click Build My App at the bottom of the Build Workflow (shown in Figure 3).
Congratulations! The Detect Google Play Store Emulators protection is now added to the mobile app
Certify the Detect Google Play Store Emulators feature in Android Apps

After building Detect Google Play Store Emulators, Appdome generates a Certified Secure™ certificate to guarantee that the Detect Google Play Store Emulators protection has been added and is protecting the app. To verify that the Detect Google Play Store Emulators protection has been added to the mobile app, locate the protection in the Certified Secure™ certificate as shown below:

Figure 5: Certified Secure™ certificate

Each Certified Secure™ certificate provides DevOps and DevSecOps organizations the entire workflow summary, audit trail of each build, and proof of protection that Detect Google Play Store Emulators has been added to each Android app. Certified Secure provides instant and in-line DevSecOps compliance certification that Detect Google Play Store Emulators and other mobile app security features are in each build of the mobile app
