Oh yes. One of my clients had all kinds of problems with their app 
because Norton's kept flagging it. There may be a way to get Norton's to 
whitelist your app if you contact them. In our case, we had to omit a 
feature that used an external, which solved it. But your app doesn't use 
an external and is pretty self-contained, so it sounds like Norton's has 
upped the ante lately.

Norton's may honor a manifest if it is built into your app, but I'm not 
sure.
