    B4J Question Protecting code against decompilation and theft?

    Hi. I'm already using B4J obfuscation, which helps a lot with making decompiled code harder to follow. I was wondering if there is a technique or tool I'm missing to give my app better security. The thing is, mine is a huge app to be used in large companies, and it's a first (in terms of...

    Wish B4A: auto-generate obfuscation mapping file for app bundle

    The AAB app bundle can now include a mapping file to de-obfuscate stack traces. Could B4A auto-generate that file and include it when compiling the app bundle? When I update one of my apps on the Play Store, it warns that my app bundle does not have a mapping file, and I can't just upload the...

    Android Question code obfuscation - mapping file for Google Play listing?

    In this post about obfuscating code, a mapping file is mentioned. However, the Google Play console doesn't seem to accept it as a valid mapping file to upload, which makes my obfuscated app's stack traces (from the Google console) harder to understand. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

    Android Question protecting embedded ClientIDOauth using code obfuscation?

    I've added a feature to my app that uses Google Drive to store backups. In this super-helpful post by Fredo, he mentions that the clientID for OAuth should never be stored in the source code, for security reasons (i.e. someone could get that ID by de-compiling the app). However, in Erel's...

    Android Question Should we always obfuscate our own libraries?

    The documentation says one can obfuscate the libraries we make in B4A. Considering that best practice is to always obfuscate everything that we release, shouldn't we always obfuscate our own libraries? Or does an obfuscated library (for instance) make debugging more difficult somehow? Or...

    Android Question APK obfuscation

    Hi, When I am trying to obfuscate the apk code using the inbuilt obfuscation, it is changing only the variable names in the code which I have added, without affecting the included libraries. Hence I tried to use the free tool Pro guard for obfuscating the apk code to prevent easy de-compilation...
