Recall from previous discussion that web links in applications
are often dynamically generated (such as from
advertisements). Thus a static approach of extracting web
links is not sufficient. Therefore, in order to trigger web links from within the application, we run the applications in a
custom dyanamic analysis environment. To enable scalability
and continuous operation, running applications on real devices
is not a feasible option. Therefore, each application is run in a
virtual machine based on the Android emulator.
