Here’s the simple truth about the modern mobile landscape:

There is no such thing as a “typical” mobile app anymore.

Some apps are mostly Java/Kotlin. Others are heavy in native C++ or Rust. A surprising number have grown into hybrids. And an ever‑growing percentage — especially in gaming, fintech, media, and high‑performance mobile workloads — are built in Unity or Flutter.

That diversity is great for developers. But it has historically been a nightmare for protecting apps. Most security solutions can protect some parts of an app, some of the time, on some platforms. And developers end up having to choose which apps to protect and which to leave exposed — purely because their tools don’t support the full mix of technologies they use.

That’s exactly the problem we’ve spent the last several years eliminating.

Android Apps Are Multi‑Layered. We Protect Every Layer.

A real Android app usually contains several pieces:

  • DEX code (Java/Kotlin)
  • Native ARM code (C/C++, Rust, game engines)
  • Hybrid components (Unity, Flutter, MAUI, JS bridges)

Not every vendor can protect every one of these components.

We can — in a single post‑build workflow.

Our Android protection now covers:

  • DEX – obfuscation, anti‑tamper, environment checks
  • Native ARM64 – post‑build obfuscation, runtime guards, anti‑instrumentation
  • Unity & Flutter – full support for protecting the ARM code those frameworks generate
  • Mixed‑mode apps – seamless protection even when all three components appear in the same package

You don’t have to reorganize your project or split your protections based on where your code came from. You ship your app, and we protect the whole thing.

iOS Apps Are Native ARM + Hybrid. We Protect All of That Too.

iOS apps are simpler in structure but just as inconsistent in how they’re built.

Some are Swift or Objective‑C. Many contain:

  • Native ARM64 binaries
  • Flutter‑generated ARM
  • Unity builds
  • MAUI and other runtimes

Our post‑build iOS ARM protection covers all of this — directly at the IPA or XCArchive level — with no custom Xcode build integration required.

That means:

  • No reliance on LLVM IR, unlike older-generation tools
  • No need to modify build settings
  • No need to ship source code
  • No workflow disruption

Just run your app through our protection step and get a hardened version back.

One Product. One Workflow. Every Mobile App.

Here’s the philosophy that guides everything we’re doing in AppSec:

You shouldn’t have to choose which of your apps to protect. Your protection solution should just handle all of them.

That’s why our roadmap has focused so hard on:

  • Post‑build protection (no build-system changes)
  • Framework‑agnostic coverage (Unity, Flutter, MAUI, Rust, JS hybrids, traditional mobile stacks)
  • Ease of use (JSON blueprints, single CLI invocation, CI‑ready)
  • Expanding platform scope, not narrowing it

Unity and Flutter: No Longer “Special Cases”

Historically, telling a mobile security vendor you were shipping Unity or Flutter apps got you one of two responses:

  1. “We don’t support that.”
  2. “We support part of that.”

We support the whole thing, exactly because these frameworks have become foundational to modern app development.

Unity and Flutter aren’t second‑class citizens here — they’re first-class targets.

If You Can Ship It to the App Store or Play Store… We Can Protect It.

That’s really the headline.

It doesn’t matter whether your app is:

  • Java/Kotlin
  • Swift/Objective‑C
  • C/C++ or Rust
  • Unity
  • Flutter
  • MAUI
  • A hybrid with multiple layers
  • A game, a banking app, a medical device controller, or something entirely custom

If it compiles into an APK, AAB, IPA, or XCArchive, you can run it through our post‑build protection pipeline and come out with a hardened app.

That’s the differentiator.

That’s the ease‑of‑use story.

That’s the future of mobile application security.
