Overview
The AndroidManifest file defines important application metadata, including permissions, activities, services, receivers, providers, and component exposure settings.
For mobile security testing, the manifest is one of the first files worth reviewing. It can show what the app asks from the device, which components may be externally reachable, and whether configuration choices match the intended security model.
In this lab, you practice reviewing AndroidManifest data and connecting static APK metadata to real mobile application attack surface.
