 Xiaomi recently unveiled the Xiaomi 12S series, which includes smartphones with Leica color-tuned cameras and a camera app.

Leica camera app has recently been leaked online, and Xiaomi has filed a lawsuit against those responsible.

According to reports, a member of the "CoolAPK website" community visited a Mi Store and purchased the Xiaomi 12S series camera app. In reality, it is assumed that this camera won't function on other gadgets, but regrettably Xiaomi didn't include any restrictions to prevent using the camera software on other Xiaomi phones.


On a number of Xiaomi devices, including those with cameras that haven't been improved by Leica, the Leica camera app can be utilised.


Xiaomi appears to be taking this seriously as they appear to have updated the AOSP patch to include a SELinux policy that prevents the shell user from accessing APK data files. because "private sources" may be present in the data files. This URL will let you read it. The good news is that Google will probably not incorporate this change into their code. There are far too many closed-source Android applications available, yet it's crucial to maintain the openness of the Android operating system.

If you are unfamiliar with CoolAPK, it is essentially a Chinese version of APKMirror. This website has a huge number of APKs. The app store that is now available on Xiaomi phones in China is called GetApps. Google is one of the foreign corporations that are subject to stringent restrictions in China. Therefore, certain Chinese phones cannot access the Google Play Store or anything else from Google.


CoolAPK was available on Xiaomi's "GetApps" app store.


As can be seen from the screenshot, CoolAPK is no longer available in Xiaomi's app store. Xiaomi is quite rigorous about the Leica camera app being leaked. Not only did they delete CoolAPK from their app store, but they also let the Leica camera app leak. It's an app market with a variety of APK files, as we have stated.
