It's due to the fact that app developers usually install their app many times. And, it's possible to watch for those app installs in Android.
Implementing an app that takes advantage of this requires ZERO permissions.
So, I've created two working proof-of-concept apps: One to programmatically identify developer devices, and one to identify those kinds of apps and stop them. Both are open source and can be found on GitHub, and the later one can be found on Google Play.
I'll explain shortly how this is done.
Imagine, if you are an app developer, then your device(s) can be programmatically identified and have special code ran for them and nobody else will experience the same issue or app changes.
