There are several security analyzers for Android apps. Mainly there are two categories, you can analyze a running app directly on the mobile phone or an emulator, this is called dynamic analysis. Or, you can retrieve the APK from the Play Store or directly from the phone and analyze it independently, this is called static analysis.

• Dynamic Analyzers: frida, objection, drozer, JDWP

• Static Analyzers: apktool, androguard, MobSF

To learn more about these tools and how they are used, please refer to these two sections:
