Hello guys I'm wondering if there's a "secure" way to do the Basic Authentication with retrofit, I'm about to create a
BasicAuthenticatorInterceptor
that implements
Interceptor
and then create there the Basic Authentication, the thing is I do not like to have the credentials inside the APP, how do I store the credentials to avoid someone that get the source code could do api calls? I was thinking to do an endpoint call first get the credentials from server and then store them in SP but I do not know if I have to encrypt them or what. Any other suggestions?

This is not related to Kotlin

There is no channel for such questions on this Slack, because it’s not related to Kotlin The closest one is #squarelibraries, but I believe it’s also offtopic for this channle
