So during my initial analysis I found that first we should secure the mobile application installer because Android's .apk installation file usually packaged together all the resource files used in the hybrid project. Crackers could reverse engineer it to get those files. I know that we can ensure protection only by increasing the level of security. So I minified all the files, bundled together and applied obfuscation over it; which made hybrid portion bit more secure. After this I used Arxan to protect the mobile app at b...
