Risk Assessment
Releasing an app with its android:debuggable attribute set to true can leak sensitive information. In addition, the app is vulnerable to decompilation, resulting in alteration to source code.Attackers can leverage the additional information they gain from debugging output to mount attacks targeted on the framework, database, or other resources used by the application.
...
Automatic detection of the setting of the android:debuggable attribute is straightforward. It is not feasible to automatically determine whether any data that might be revealed by debugging the app is sensitive.
