Got a DJI drone as a birthday present and instead of having me install from the Play store they want me to install an apk directly from their website.
Does anybody know why this app isn’t on the play store? Is this legit or just a vector for malware?
Regardless of company size or popularity, that is sketchy. While not perfect by any means , google play affords some security scanning and privacy awareness info on apps that are published there. Others are probably right. And I bet DJI probably wanted to skip that step to trade for ease of management. But any time you install something off a non play store repo you take on a little extra risk.
