Google Play Store is whitelisted in 10.2.1.1055!

11-24-13 04:09 AM

I just checked the latest Android runtime from latest leak 10.2.1.1055 and found quite interesting piece... In previous version Google Play Store (billing service identified by com.android.vending.billing.MarketBillingService.B IND was blacklisted). Now I found that in the system main framework there's a whitelist of Google Play Store. It whitelists the obvious package "com.android.vending", signed with Google release keys to escalate it with required privileges (ALLOWED_IN_APP_BILLING & ALLOWED_SYSTEM_PRIV). Decompile it yourself and you'll see. It's all there.

Code:

.class public final Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;
.super Ljava/lang/Object;
.source "PrivilegedApplications.java"


# static fields
.field public static final ALLOWED_IN_APP_BILLING:[Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

.field public static final ALLOWED_SYSTEM_PRIV:[Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

.field static final sGoogleVending:Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;


# direct methods
.method static constructor <clinit>()V
    .registers 6

    .prologue
    const/4 v5, 0x1

    const/4 v4, 0x0

    .line 28
    new-instance v0, Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    const-string v1, "com.android.vending"

    invoke-direct {v0, v1}, Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;-><init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V

    sput-object v0, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->sGoogleVending:Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    .line 30
    sget-object v0, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->sGoogleVending:Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    new-array v1, v5, [Landroid/content/pm/Signature;

    new-instance v2, Landroid/content/pm/Signature;

    const-string v3, "308204433082032ba003020102020900c2e08746644a308d300..." # trimmed

    invoke-direct {v2, v3}, Landroid/content/pm/Signature;-><init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V

    aput-object v2, v1, v4

    iput-object-quick v1, v0, field@0x4c

    .line 34
    new-array v0, v5, [Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    sget-object v1, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->sGoogleVending:Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    aput-object v1, v0, v4

    sput-object v0, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->ALLOWED_SYSTEM_PRIV:[Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    .line 38
    new-array v0, v5, [Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    sget-object v1, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->sGoogleVending:Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    aput-object v1, v0, v4

    sput-object v0, Lcom/qnx/internal/installer/PrivilegedApplications;->ALLOWED_IN_APP_BILLING:[Landroid/content/pm/PackageParser$Package;

    .line 41
    return-void
.end method

.method public constructor <init>()V
    .registers 1

    .prologue
    .line 11
    invoke-object-init/range {p0 .. p0}, Ljava/lang/Object;-><init>()V

    return-void
.end method

Round two, fight...

User installed apps don't have the right privileges to do some things. This whitelisting gives Play Store the same rights as system apps - the rights it needs to install apps & update apps (without user interaction) and other things.

maybe Blackberry denying google play officially is just them covering their tracks while they test and improve the google play store. Since we know you will be able to install apks on 10.2.1 maybe they whitelisted it in order to test and optimize it for bb10. *PURE SPECULATION*

Just tested on Q10 with com.android.vending-4.4.21.apk

It installs but does not work when launched.

Will try other versions and get back if something works.

Sounds like BB is saying they won't ship Google Play on the devices, but they won't stop people from installing it themselves.

What do you mean when you say if the "runtime was active"?

That's not entirely true, many apps didn't send notifications when you got something new like Facebook Messenger.

Interesting. I've never gotten a KIK notification unless it was running in an active frame. Are you saying that I would get KIK notifications as long at least one Android app was running (and hence ensure the Android runtime was active)?
