Obfuscating only the Android artifact is a poor security model for a cross-platform application. Codename One App Hardening transforms the merged application before it splits into Android, iOS, JavaScript, Windows, Linux, and desktop builds.
What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com.
We set the target at DexGuard-class resistance: rename useful symbols, remove plaintext application strings where the target permits it, distort selected control flow, and keep crash reports readable. This is not a claim that reverse engineering becomes impossible. It is a commitment to make the same security decision cover the whole application instead of leaving every port to a different tool and configuration.
This post continues this week's release overview and GUI Builder rewrite and last week's App Shield release.
One transform before six platform builds
