-<p>When a debugger is enabled it could allow for entry points in the application or reveal sensitive information.</p>
+<p>The Android manifest file defines configuration settings for Android applications.
+In this file, the <code>android:debuggable</code> attribute of the <code>application</code> element can be used to
+define whether or not the application can be debugged. When set to <code>true</code>, this attribute will allow the
+application to be debugged even when running on a device in user mode.</p>
+
+<p>When a debugger is enabled it could allow for entry points in the application or reveal sensitive information.
+As a result, <code>android:debuggable</code> should only be enabled during development and should be disabled in
+production builds.</p>
