Virus extension dynamic component

Some of the application stores also say that the application made in AI detects the trojan virus. It was discussed in MIT AI Community.
Here are some discussions post:
Why My Compiled App With Trojan / App has virus - MIT App Inventor Help - MIT App Inventor Community

Urgente Virus detected - MIT App Inventor Help - MIT App Inventor Community

android:evo-gen virus - Android Apps & Games | Android Forums

Also According to @ewpatton,
This occasionally happens when the virus scanner is either overzealous or lazy. If this is an app you have made yourself, doesn’t include extensions,* and is built using the production MIT App Inventor servers, it doesn’t actually contain a virus and is being flagged falsely by whatever virus scanner has been included on your phone by default. You may want to use whatever reporting facility provided by the company to report the false positive.

  • We cannot verify whether or not any given extension acts maliciously. Extensions are distributed by their authors and are not endorsed by MIT (except those that we have written ourselves).

I don’t think dynamic component extension contains any trojan as it is open source and you can check every code and recompile extension by yourself
