How to disable Google asking permission to regularly check installed apps on my phone

Question

I m developing an Android app  which I therefore endlessly build and install on my test device  Since a couple days I get with every build install a question asking      Google may regularly check installed apps for potentially harmfull   behaviour  Learn more in Google Settings   Verify apps    I get the option to Accept or Decline  I ve declined about a hundred times now  but it seems to be Googles policy to keep on asking until I get sick of the message and finally click Accept  But I don t want that   So my question  how do I let Google know once and for all that I do not want them regularly checking installed apps on my phone

With the latest version of Lollipop  go into app  drawer and look for Google Settings  Scroll down to Security  tap iit to open  slide to the left the slider next to  Improve harmful app  detection  to the left  then same for  Scan device for security threats   Exit out of that  and the annoying pop up will never appear again

If the device is rooted    root mako     settings put global package verifier enable 0   Seems to do the trick

It is also available in general settings  Settings -  Security -  Verify Apps  Just un-check it     I am running 4 2 2 but most probably it should be available in 4 0 and higher  Cant say about previous versions

If you want to turn off app verification programmatically  you can do so with the following code   boolean success   true  boolean enabled   Settings Secure getInt context getContentResolver     package verifier enable   1     1  if  enabled        success   Settings Secure putString context getContentResolver     package verifier enable    0        You will also need the following system permissions    lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE SETTINGS    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE SECURE SETTINGS    gt    Also worth noting is that the  package verifier enable  string comes from the Settings Glabal PACKAGE VERIFIER ENABLE member which seems to be inaccessible
