Why does my Huawei phone flag the Spaceti app as a security risk?

We are currently experiencing problems with some older Huawei devices. On these devices, the Spaceti app is flagged as containing malware.

Not to worry- we assure you the Spaceti app does not contain malware. We have gone through extensive scanning of the app.

Huawei's software seems to misinterpret some features of the app as having malicious intent. We can confirm this is a false positive situation- where the phone's security systems identify a legitimate app as a threat. Similarly, this has occurred to the Google app on some Huawei devices in late 2023.

Unfortunately, there is little we can do at the moment as we require Huawei's cooperation to resolve this issue on their devices. We are actively investigating what could be causing this, but as Huawei does not disclose how their systems check for malicious hardware, we are merely making sure nothing sticks out and everything looks in order.
