Truegaze : Static Analysis Tool For Android/iOS Applications Focusing On Security Issues Outside The Source Code

Truegaze is a static analysis tool for Android and iOS applications focusing on security issues outside the source code such as resource strings, third party libraries and configuration files.

Requirements

Python 3 is required and you can find all required modules in the requirements.txt file. Only tested on Python 3.7 but should work on other 3.x releases. No plans to 2.x support at this time.
