For Android, detect System Runtime API Hijacking primarily during application vetting or controlled analysis rather than assuming a live device SOC feed. Correlate OS API Execution via Application Vetting / Instrumented Dynamic Analysis [Dynamic API/runtime trace: Multiple applications invoking core system APIs (sensor, permission, telephony, PackageManager) show inconsistent, suppressed, or modified return values compared to OS-expected behavior — cross-app API result inconsistency is the runtime hi]; OS API Execution via Application Vetting / Instrumented Dynamic Analysis [Dynamic API/runtime trace: Device integrity degradation (root detected, system partition modification, SafetyNet/Play Integrity failure) coincident with anomalous system API behavior affecting runtime resolution]. 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 |
|---|---|
| APIBaselineValues | Expected return values for key system APIs on clean device of this model/version. Derive from fleet measurement on known-good devices. Deviations from baseline indicate runtime hijacking. |
| MultiAppInconsistencyThreshold | Default 3 distinct apps showing API result anomalies simultaneously. Single-app anomaly may be app bug; multi-app simultaneous anomaly indicates system-level hook. |
