Why haven't you published this to the Google Play store?

We'd love to be able to publish it in the Play Store, but we were informed by Google that the terms of service disallow any apps that check for vulnerabilities, despite X-Ray's good intentions.

It's a weird distinction that they allow AV-like apps, but not vulnerability assessment apps.
