For Android, detect Prevent Application Removal from documented management, network, or vetting evidence; treat state queries as periodic observations rather than real-time events. Correlate Application Permission via Android Enterprise DPC / Application Vetting [DevicePolicyManager.getPermissionGrantState(); PackageManager manifest/requested-permission review]; OS API Execution via Application Vetting / Instrumented Dynamic Analysis [Dynamic API/runtime trace: App invokes accessibility global actions (back, home, recents) or DevicePolicyManager removal-resistance operations when package-management or uninstall UI is in foreground — active uninstall interference]. Alert on a sequence or state change inconsistent with the device/app baseline, approved management policy, or expected user workflow; do not infer unobserved API calls, file/process activity, or payload content from management state alone.

| Field | Description |

| RemovalResistanceAllowList | MDM agent (legitimate Device Admin that cannot be removed by user is expected). Any other app using removal-resistance mechanisms should be flagged. Derive from MDM enrollment policy. |
