Possibly Malicious Fork on Play Store, Pretending to be Official
It would appear some company by the name of Allied Construction Services Inc. have decided to upload to Google's Play Store an ad-infested fork of Arru, while pretending to be official developers of Arru.
Also, unlike the official version of Arru, Aurora Store reports that this form requires Google's Play Services.
I saw an update (to version 2.6.0, which has not officially been released here) via Aurora Store, however the listing looked suspicious to me (and thus did not install it).
Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kssidll.arru
Update: Their privacy policy page is outright fake, to the point that they claim ownership over the google.com domain: https://www.privacypolicies.com/live/afadc059-be51-4bf0-80f8-9f85176e3288
Update 2: It appears that Allied Construction Services Inc. may actually be a legitimate website (searching for the address does confirm this), however that this may someone impersonating as them, as this company has nothing to do with software services, being a construction contractor company, and the developer contact details on the Play Store do not match the contact information on their website: https://centraliowabuildingtrades.org/contractors/allied-construction-services/
Update 3: It appears that this impersonator has been pretending to be the developers of other apps similar to Arru, with the same kind of scam, and has been active since at least April 1 of this year.
I intend to make a call to the actual company in the afternoon (for me, it will be morning for them, and thankfully I do have international calls in my cellular plans, which is why I can allow myself to do this) to verify that they indeed are not involved in this scam, but rather someone is impersonating them, and if so, perhaps they may be able to assist in getting the impersonators kicked off Google's platform.
