We have not found any leaks from apps that only use Android API:s such as [DnsResolver]. The Chrome browser is an example of an app that can use getaddrinfo [directly](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:android_webview/browser/aw_pac_processor.cc;l=197;drc=133b2d903fa57cfda1317bc589b349cf4c284b7c).
