Hi everyone 👋
I was wondering if there are any tools available for code obfuscation in Kotlin/Native (similar to R8 on Android).

Without an obfuscation tool, how are we supposed to safely ship production apps built with Kotlin/Native?
Is there anything currently in development that’s open source and free?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Kotlin native in release build is already obfuscate by nature.
In native development world, there is some security solution to increase the obfuscation of code but I didn’t find one supporting kotlin/native

In also depends on the target you're targeting, for jvm targets you can use normal java deobfuscator.

For jvm it is also possible to use r8, if write JavaExec Gradle task that will execute r8 with passing input as cmd args

The question is about kotlin native.
kotlin jvm obfuscation has existing solutions, it’s pretty standard
