okay, lets say it leaves footprint, but how about my question?
What actually bot sees in my apk? Does the ip exist in apk (while I build with fake jks and fake structure in rdp)?
Or the bot does not see the ip inside apk since I decompile and recompile it again in vmware with offline connection?
I'm happy with apktool footprint rather than fu*kin android studio footprint.
I am very sure that they (staf and bot) have already realized about apk tool, compile decompile, offline build, etc they must think like we think.
But still, I prefer use apktool footprint than that fu*kin IDE namely android studio although they can detect apktool footprint.
Since too many people aware about android studio, maybe the bot change its way to see an apk, maybe from code structure, string, library, etc...
You are asking so many questions. I will try to explain you that very simple:
1. file hashes, every file have it's name/size/checksum, etc.
2. android studio makes hashmap for your project, with your hashes
3. in compilation progress, it's sending to server
4. after you get ban, your hash map is blacklisted
5. next code you send to store is compared with blacklist
-some small files can be send to Google servers
-strings can be extracted from java code and send to servers
hashes, strings, some files - this generate unique fingreprint of app
Why they may use something like that? Because sending whole files, especialy resources to Google servers will force them to build special data centers to keep it. Secondly, it would use massive user bandwith, what is not happening. So they need to have simpler method to compare banned apps to re-published apps.
Solution:
1. Change all files names and little content:
-for resources add for example blank pixel in Photoshop
-for java add for example i=1; i++;
-for xml files change something
-for gradle libraries, update/downgrade libraries
-clean folders gradle, idea, build
2. Compile application on vmware/virtual box with fresh downloaded Android Studio
3. Last step to make sure, obfuscate your app with commercial or free obfuscator from github

That's all, if you want to dig, search yourself
AND SORRY THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT ANDROID STUDIO - it's the only way
Decompiling and republishing others apps with APKTools is lame shit for script kiddies who want to earn few dollars xD
