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's no channel #retrofit 😕

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
