Obfuscate Xamarin Application

Viewed 1031

Is it possible to extract the code of a Xamarin Android application and inspect it?

I am in last stages of one Application which would be soon released on Play Store. However, I am worried if the code could be extracted and looked at by other people.

Please advise, how to secure my App from other people looking at the code for it.

Obfuscating of Xamarin Android apps is of no sense (you can turn on "Enable ProGuard" option if you want but it will not Obfuscate your code) its better to turn on "Embed assemblies to native code" which will convert all code into a binary .so file. and it will make it difficult for hacker or reverse engineer to read that code and do reverse engineering AOT but that is in experimental and might create problem for some device after updated on play store. in order to play safe i would suggest to go with "Embed assemblies to native code"
