As far as I'm aware, mobile doubleclick ads need a WebView with Javascript and shouldOverrideUrlLoading(). I'm not sure about others.

How do you account for apps that only use the WebView for showing ads with the various ad toolkits out there?

In our study we didn't differentiate (from a security perspective, if you are vulnerable because you use a WebView when showing ads, then you are still vulnerable), so I don't have data for that.

It would be interesting data, although determining WebView for ads statically might be tricky.
