Interesting. Since only one engine detected it, it could be a false positive. What does the government claim the purpose of the app is?

A messaging app for teachers and students.
App is based on Rubika, that is another messaging app created by Tuska, Tuska is a very powerful and mysterious company with unknown founder, history, leader...

Maybe this trojan is still unknown for other engines.

Difficult situation. It's certainly possible the government has included some kind of code to monitor communications within schools. Not sure if you have any real options here, besides maybe having a separate phone for use in school only, and minimizing the accounts that you associate with that phone.

Agreed. If the app has a name, you can just let us know what it's called.
