📣 Reach iOS Developers
If you build a tool that solves a developer problem, I would love to help you reach iOS developers - hi@iosdev.tools
🛠 Sponsor: Compiler Technology vs Wrapper Solutions: Making the right foundational choice for mobile app protection (Webinar)
The right mobile app protection secures apps and SDKs against threats such as reverse engineering, back-end abuse, app cloning, piracy, and IP theft, to name a few. Join our webinar for a nuanced explanation of mobile app protection, comparing compiler-based technology and wrapper solutions.
