2) New OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) release is available! This release has focused on maintaining abstraction, simplifying the standard by removing redundancies, using standard terminology to bring clarity, and narrowing the scope by relying more heavily on other industry standards. These changes aim to make MASVS more understandable and effective for users, ensuring that it remains a leading industry standard for mobile application security. The MASVS v2.0.0 was presented at the OWASP AppSec Dublin 2023, you can watch the presentation below👇

3) Being a “Compose Dev” our enemy number one is unnecessary recompositions 🤕. Often times we use tools like recompositionHighligher, LogComposition, and layout inspector to count the recomposition, but there’s no direct way to understand “why” the recomposition has happened. Rebugger is a simple compose utility function that can track the change in the given arguments. It’ll print the reason for recomposition in your Logcat window.

4) An “Acropalypse” flaw in Google Pixel's Markup tool made it possible to partially recover edited or redacted screenshots and images, including those that have been cropped or had their contents masked, for the past five years. Find out how this vulnerability worked 😬
