Beginning a No-Code Mobile App Security Project
Appdome is a unified mobile app defense platform for Android and iOS apps. With Appdome, mobile brands can integrate over 300 mobile app security features, anti-fraud measures, anti-malware protections, anti-cheat mechanisms, anti-bot defenses, geo compliance, and other security features seamlessly into the mobile DevOps pipeline. This end-to-end automation enables users to easily integrate any external feature set(s) into one or more mobile apps within minutes (sometimes seconds) through a simple point-and-click interface.
With Appdome, you can upload your mobile app binaries (in .ipa, .apk, or .aab format) into your private workspace or a team workspace associated with your account. From there, you can access Appdome’s Mobile Integration Workflow to complete your mobile integration projects.
Additionally, during the upload process, the Appdome Integrity Service automatically verifies the integrity of your app to ensure it was built correctly.
