Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Update plugin com.android.test to v8.5.0 by @renovate in #1561

Was it properly checked for backdoor injections?

Check the code for suspicious lines and then check the compiled app for network traffic etc

There were dozens of dependency upgrades in this release, I have no idea why you think this specific one has security issues. Either way we don't have time to read through every line of code of every dep update, but here's the source code: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/base

If you find something, you might want to submit a PR as it would affect not just ours, but a lot of android projects.

Reading through the code of the dependency is not required. What is required is reading through the merge request to see if the dependency isn't used for malicious or wasteful purposes. Checking on the authenticity of the dependency is a good idea too.
