You might want to alert WiiM directly through the feedback function within the WiiM Home App, tab "More...". In theory the file could have been infected anywhere across the delivery chain, so contacting Google is also a good idea.

The fact that uninstalling and then reinstalling the app does not trigger any alert makes me somewhat suspicious of a false positive, though.

WiiM also provide an APK file on their website directly. However, to be able to install it you need to enable side-loading, which potentially reduces security if you don't trust the source of the file.

No alert from the security scan on my Xiaomi 15 with freshly update virus definitions. I don't feel at risk. :)
 
I must say, never heard of viruses in mobile Android OS ever!

witch version of app did you download?
I tried several version because of app problem and my mobile phone is Poco X3

If you downloaded the app from Google Playstore I would be very surprised if it was infected.
Play Protect should be scanning and reporting issues
