Hello Darrenfil! So sorry I haven’t gotten back to your message sooner. I am indeed aware of this issue, and in truth, we cannot fix it. However, you can indeed circumvent it.
What you can do is add an exclusion in Avast, to the EAS Simulator executable, (bin/app.exe) or disable the antivirus while you use it.
The reason for this false activation, is due to the game engine used, it unfortunately uses DLL files that get detected as malware, not really sure why, “idp.generic” seems like a pretty generic detection to me.
But, rest assured, as you already know, it’s harmless. You just need to disable your antivirus, or add it as an exclusion.
Thanks!
