How can you tell if any particular app has GSF Google spyware linked in?

Offhand, I know of only one way, but it isn't universal as it requires the
app to currently be listed in the Google Play Store repository to work.

What if an app links in GSF spyware _without_ submitting itself to the
Google Play Store repository?

And what if the app is no longer on the Google Play Store repository?

The answer to this question will add value to our technical knowledge:
*How do _you_ tell if an app has GSF spyware linked into it?*
--
Posted out of the goodness of my heart to disseminate useful information
which, in this case, is to craft a solution to finding GSF in app APKs.
