Mobile cheats and mods are a big business but that doesn't mean that you have to support them if you don't want to. As the developer, it's up to you. You may want to block commercial cheat engines, modding platforms and app player emulators, or charge mobile app customers for using your app on commercial cheats, mods and modding platforms like Game Guardian, Cheat Engine, Frida, BlueStacks, Memu, Nox and more. With Appdome, you're in control and know exactly when and how mods, modding, hacks, injection attacks and tools are used with your app. Block, allow or upsell, it's up to you.
Protect your Android and iOS apps from becoming the mods and cheats themselves and being distributed to others freely or for profit. Attackers have become increasingly sophisticated, automated, and heavily fortified with a nearly endless arsenal of freely available cheat malware and other automated cheat tools. Protect the investment you've made in your app, your IP, or game and mobile app design. With Appdome, you can protect the app from repackaging, redistribution, and modding with Anti-tampering, runtime bundle validation and Google Signature validation, all in one.
The tools used to generate fake clicks, fake events and accounts, spoof SDKs, cheat mobile games, or gain unfair advantage in mobile app economies often leverage injection attacks in Android & iOS mobile apps. With Appdome's mobile cheat prevention, you can stop all major injection attack vectors including static and dynamic mobile code injection, process injections, DB injection, memory injection, key injection, as well as methods and tools used in injection attacks including Magisk, Magisk Hide, Magisk Manager, Frida, hooking frameworks and more.
Everyone plays mobile games. Mobile games guide users on incredible journeys, offering excitement, entertainment and community. Mobile game cheats, cheating engines and mobile game cheating tools undermine that experience and make game play less fair and enjoyable for everyone.

Certified Secure™ is the perfect complement to DevSecOps strategies. It can be used in "go, no-go" release meetings, compliance verification and to reduce reliance on code scanning services.
Mobile app cheating also occurs from auto-clickers and emulated actions that deliver unfair advantage to mobile app users and players. For example, auto-clickers can be used to earn points, grab gigs, horde limited merchandise or deals, create fake accounts, or receive gifts and hard currency in mobile apps unfairly. With Appdome, you can build mobile apps that defend against this class of cheating and fraud quickly and easily.
