Oh and also, what scanning tech is used?
Just something that occured to me, but it's quite common as I'm sure you know, that when somebody hears that a website or a content provider of some kind has some kind of scanning of said content on their server, that everythign is safe. As we all know, you can lump 15 malware scanners running all on the same system and there will still be rootkits they can't find and so on. So what makes people think these scans done by app stores are any better? Of course apps are less complex than full applications found on PC's, generally speaking that is, so there are maybe less behaviioral traits or signatures to look for but again I defer to my own ignorance of app development so who knows. After all if it's got a network stack it's exploitable, one way or another.
