[android-developers] Re: APKTool - decoding our apps

Has anyone tried using an obfuscator on their app before apk'ing it?
Something like http://proguard.sourceforge.net/

I'm going to give it a try and then try to reverse engineer it to see
if it helps.

Don't like the idea of people reverse engineering our code either...
