Many Android developers assume their apps are safe because they use code obfuscation, SSL pinning, or end-to-end encryption. Attackers know better. Rooting tools are updated within days of every OS release. SSL pinning is routinely bypassed. Keys stored on devices can be stolen. Precompiled SDKs create blind spots that scanning tools can’t see. This talk will cut through the myths that give developers false confidence and show how attackers are exploiting them today. We’ll highlight the practical steps you can take now to make your apps self-defending. You’ll leave with a clear picture of where common defenses fall short and what you can do today to keep your Android apps secure against attackers who are going mobile-first.
