https://github.com/rednaga/APKiD/ should help to show elements that would make me think twice if I want to run an application.
Heavily obfuscated and protected applications are suspicious. Especially if they don't like rooted and user customised applications.

It's an excellent idea, but the results of the apkid analysis can be tricky to understand for users having no technical expertise. We can also imagine checking if the APK has been frosted or not (metadata added to the APK by Google Play).

I think this feature is very important, as obfuscation often hides other trackers, which would make exodus causing harm in a paradoxical way: If people are looking up an obfuscated app in exodus, it might show "0 trackers", and people would be misled to assume it was exceptionally privacy friendly, when very likely the exact opposite is the case.
