Androidtv disabling apps due to potential malware or piracy?

by hpsims

I have been using AOSTV app for a while now. Use it to get free IPTV. Noticed this morning the app was gone from my app list. I tried to reinstall it but I received an error message saying error potential malware. I don’t have any antivirus installed or anything. That’s why I thought it was my androidtv disabling the app. Most probably due to piracy concerns. Anyone experience something similar. Can’t re enable the app.

Edit: someone replied to me in another thread with the answer. Have to disable app scanning in android TV: settings, device preferences, security&restrictions, disable verify apps. Also don’t use google drive to side load piracy apks as google blocks from downloading from there as well.

Sounds like Google Play Protect is disabling the apps it deems harmful.
I am not sure how you would go about disabling GPP on android tv, sorry.
