B4J Question B4J Protection

[LucaMs]

I have not yet used B4J (I imagine that, in addition to being a RAD, its greatest potential is in cross-platform development; excellent).

Just a question "on the fly": is there a way to protect the sw product by it?

 

[Erel]

What do you mean with "protection"?

Obfuscation is currently not supported. It will be added in the future.

all java applications (including android-b4a), someone can easily to decompile using existing tools and get the source code of them. This is the reason that we use Obfuscation, so not to be easy, to read the code and the business logic behind it.

 

[Erel]

Basic4android does have a built-in obfuscator.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, unfortunately I know decompilation and I know how what is the obfuscator in B4A.

I meant to say a few additional expedient, which is typically not part of a programming language, I know.

I would not get in trouble you, Erel, but you surely have protected B4A in some way. I also know that perfect proteciont does not exists, but which do you think is the best way to do it?

 

[Erel]

Are you asking about protection for B4J apps or B4A apps?

For the moment I do not use B4J, I want first to complete my app developed with B4A, but due to its potential, I believe that then go on to B4J.

But at this point my question became more generic, because you certainly have not developed B4A / B4J using ... B4A or B4J

You should use the licensing library to protect your B4A app. For B4J you will need to implement a custom solution.
