As for Android apps updating their own code, it is possible, and it is occasionally done.
Can it be prevented?
Android now sets the /data and /sdcard partitions so that code cannot be executed from them. Those are the only places that apps have permission to write. So apps cannot download and store code. The only option is to download code and keep it in RAM. .hc -- PGP fingerprint: EE66 20C7 136B 0D2C 456C 0A4D E9E2 8DEA 00AA 5556 https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xE9E28DEA00AA5556
