Hi guys, I work for a banking company and we are looking at Kotlin multiplatform but a stumbling block is code obfuscation... has anyone managed to solve this issue? we use arxan for both iOS and Android

[nanodeath]

not familiar with KMP -- this?

[Foso]

Kotlin Multiplatform

[nanodeath]

I thought that was MPP

[Nir]

Maybe I'm way way off, but, I would have thought that kotlin multiplatform compiled to native? At which point, it's probably obfuscated enough?

[nanodeath]

hehe, I thought you were looking for occurrences of words in obfuscated code 🙂

[nanodeath]

I guess it depends on whether you're talking about an Android JVM target vs Android Native target. usually it's the former, no?

[Nir]

With KMM, you can get this flexibility and retain the benefits of native programming. Use a single codebase for the business logic of iOS and Android apps and write platform-specific code only where it’s necessary, to implement a native UI or when working with platform-specific APIs.

[Nir]

looks like you can choose whether to compile it to native or bytecode, when targetting android

[nanodeath]

ah, cool

[Kash Kabeya]

@Nir that's not secure enough for a banking app... the tool changes function names... and guards against rooted and jailbroken devices

[Kash Kabeya]

it also prevents the app from running if we use reflection in the app

[Nir]

gotcha

@Kash Kabeya you could also ask this in #C3PQML5NU

[Kash Kabeya]

will do

Also have a look at #CL4C1SLKC . The UI code is not strictly "obfuscated", but it obscured my the code-generation system
