Towards Automatically Repairing Compatibility Issues in Published Android Apps
Tue 10 May 2022 04:25 - 04:30 at ICSE room 3-even hours - Apps and Security Chair(s): Alessio Ferrari
The heavy fragmentation of the Android ecosystem has led to severe compatibility issues with apps, including those that crash at runtime or cannot be installed on certain devices but work well on other devices. To address this problem, various approaches have been proposed to detect and fix compatibility issues automatically. However, these all come with various limitations on fixing the compatibility issues, e.g., can only fix one specific type of issues, cannot deal with multi-invocation issues in a single line and issues in released apps. To overcome these limitations, we propose a generic approach that aims at fixing more types of compatibility issues in released Android apps. To this end, our prototype tool, RepairDroid, provides a generic app patch description language for users to create fix templates for compatibility issues. The created templates will then be leveraged by RepairDroid to automatically fix the corresponding issue at the bytecode level (e.g., right before users install the app). RepairDroid can support template creations for OS-induced, device-specific and inter-callback compatibility issues detected by three state-of-the-art approaches. Our experimental results show that RepairDroid can fix 7,660 out of 8,976 compatibility issues in 1,000 randomly selected Google Play apps. RepairDroid is generic to configure new compatibility issues and outperforms the state-of-the-art on effectively repairing compatibility issues in released Android apps.
