magicmars Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2022 #1 Hi, I'm about to publish an application on Google Play, and want to protect it against external use of it. I was about to integrate the "licensing library" but several old forum posts made me doubt whether, or not, to integrate this library into my application : "You don't need a licensing library anymore, just set your minimum API to 16+" “Google is applying a similar protection to all apps automatically. The app is encrypted and (theoretically) cannot be copied to other devices. It can only be downloaded directly from Google Play. » By reading the official documentation of Google Licensing api, it appears that "licensing lib" will soon be obsolete and replaced by "Play Integrity Api" https://developer.android.com/google/play/integrity So my question is: - Is this Library dating from 2011 still useful in 2022 ? or Google play offers an integrated alternative to protect applications, as soon as they are published? - Is it possible to integrate this new library "Play Integrity API in B4A ? Thank you for your insights . Cheers.

magicmars Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 10, 2022 #3 Hi Sandman, I want to avoid the APK app to be published in a non offical store. (apk pure etc), and use Android licensing service to verify that the user is allowed to access the app. Upvote 0
