Privacy concerns have long been expressed around smart devices, and theconcerns around Android apps have been studied by many past works. Over thepast 10 years, we have crawled and scraped data for almost 1.9 million apps,and also stored the APKs for 135,536 of them. In this paper, we examine thetrends in how Android apps have changed over time with respect to privacy andlook at it from two perspectives: (1) how privacy behavior in apps have changedas they are updated over time, (2) how these changes can be accounted for whencomparing third-party libraries and the app's own internals. To study this, weexamine the adoption of HTTPS, whether apps scan the device for other installedapps, the use of permissions for privacy-sensitive data, and the use of uniqueidentifiers. We find that privacy-related behavior has improved with time asapps continue to receive updates, and that the third-party libraries used byapps are responsible for more issues with privacy. However, we observe that inthe current state of Android apps, there has not been enough of an improvementin terms of privacy and many issues still need to be addressed.
