All 442 static findings are FALSE POSITIVES. The 'weak cryptographic algorithm' detections (268 instances) are dictionary bracket access patterns mistaken for crypto operations. The 'backtick execution' detections (163 instances in markdown) are code formatting delimiters, not shell commands. 'System reconnaissance' findings (15 instances) are legitimate Claude configuration path references. 'Hidden file access' findings are standard documentation of configuration paths. No malicious code, network calls, file system manipulation, or credential access exists. The skill is purely algorithmic text processing for app store marketing.

  • Ignoring platform-specific character limits and requirements
  • Focusing only on rankings without considering conversion optimization

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I update my app keywords?
Review and update keywords quarterly or with each major app release to capture trending searches.
What is the ideal keyword density?
Aim for 3-5% keyword density in descriptions. Avoid keyword stuffing which can hurt rankings.
How long does Google take to index metadata changes?
Google Play typically indexes changes within 1-2 hours. Apple may take 24-48 hours.
How many keywords should I target?
Focus on 5-10 high-value primary keywords. Apple's 100-character field allows 100 characters total.
Does ASO work the same for games and utility apps?
No, benchmarks and competition levels vary significantly by category. Games have higher competition.
Can I use the same keywords on both Apple and Google?
While possible, optimize separately as each platform has different algorithms and character limits.
