Why this is a false positive
The safeguard triggered while converting compiled Java sources into DEX bytecode and preparing smali files for an APK build tree. The task involved adding layout resources and patching smali hook points for a local Android widget modification. The operation used standard Android decompilation and assembly tooling without any exploit payload or malicious activity.
