I may be wrong, but can someone help me interpret the results of this analysis correctly?

See the Network Related section: Why does Simplex.apk have a hardcoded communication with

issuetracker.google.com

android.googlesource.com

developers.google.com

An app that is advertised as the most privacy-friendly?

All other indicators can (probably) be considered false positives (for example, the Camera permission, which is needed for video calls)

Thanks Evgeny for your explanation and time (I'm sure we all appreciate it). But you didn't say directly and specifically - does the app make these connections to Google servers?
