A dataset of open-source Android applications

Android has grown to be the world's most popular mobile platform with apps that are capable of doing everything from checking sports scores to purchasing stocks. In order to assist researchers and developers in better understanding the development process as well as the current state of the apps themselves, we present a large dataset of analyzed open-source Android applications and provide a brief analysis of the data, demonstrating potential usefulness. This dataset contains 1,179 applications, including 4,416 different versions of these apps and 435,680 total commits. Furthermore, for each app we include the analytical results obtained from several static analysis tools including Androguard, Sonar, and Stowaway.
