Also known as anti-tampering, one of the key protections developers can add to mobile apps is to prevent mods and code changes in their Android & iOS apps. Learn how to implement anti-tampering protection in any Android and iOS app instantly on Appdome, no coding required.
This Knowledge Base explains Appdome’s Anti-tampering capabilities, a key component of ONEShield™ by Appdome, which gets automatically added to every app as part of the Fusion process.
“Tampering: The illegal act of touching or making changes to something when you should not” (Cambridge Dictionary). Learn how to add anti-tampering for mobile apps in your Android and iOS apps without code or coding.
Mobile Anti-Tampering is part of Appdome ONEShield (mobile app hardening). Whenever you build an app on the Appdome platform, the platform automatically adds Anti-tampering to the app (as part of ONEShield). Tamper prevention protects your app against unwanted changes, mods, and hacks – all without adding development work or time to your release cycles. This is done by sealing your app and actively detecting modifications during initialization AND at multiple other points during run-time (whenever the app is being used).
Mobile Anti-Tampering protects against the following static and dynamic modifications to the application:
As a result, you prevent mods, code and workflow changes in mobile apps. It goes without saying that any modification that impacts the application in a bad way (deleting files) will also damage the built application.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to prevent mods and code changes (Anti-Tampering) to any mobile app:
Anti-Tampering (Prevent Mods, Code and Workflow Changes) has added automatically to every application as part of the ONEShield™ bundle to every app built on Appdome.
Appdome’s no-code mobile app security platform offers mobile developers, DevSec and security professionals a convenient and reliable way to protect Android and iOS apps with anti-tampering. When a user clicks “Build My App,” Appdome leverages a microservice architecture filled with 1000s of security plugins, and an adaptive code generation engine that matches the correct required plugins to the development environment, frameworks, and methods in each app.
Here’s what you need to build secured apps with anti-tampering
After successfully securing your app using Appdome, there are several available options to complete your project, depending on your app lifecycle or workflow. These include:
Or, see this quick reference Releasing Secured Android & iOS Apps built on Appdome.
Anti-Tampering is just one protection measure and synergizes well with Appdome’s Anti-Debugging and Anti-Reversing.
