Overview of this book

Written with the best practices, this book will help you master Kotlin and use its powerful language features, libraries, tools, and APIs to elevate your Android apps. As you progress, you'll use Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 to build UIs for your app, explore how to architect and improve your app architecture, and use Jetpack Libraries like Room and DataStore to persist your data locally. Using a step-by-step approach, this book will teach you how to debug issues in your app, detect leaks, inspect network calls fired by your app, and inspect your Room database. You'll also add tests to your apps to detect and address code smells. Toward the end, you’ll learn how to publish apps to the Google Play Store and see how to automate the process of deploying consecutive releases using GitHub actions, as well as learn how to distribute test builds to Firebase App Distribution. Additionally, the book covers tips on how to increase user engagement. By the end of this Kotlin book, you’ll be able to develop market-ready apps, add tests to their codebase, address issues, and get them in front of the right audience.

Securing your app

Ensuring your apps are secure is particularly important. We need to ensure that our users’ data is safe and secure. We also need to ensure that our app is not vulnerable to attacks. Attacks such as malware, man-in-the-middle attacks, and data interception pose risks to sensitive information, while vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and privilege escalation can lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of databases or app functionalities. Cross-site scripting and code injection present avenues for attackers to execute malicious scripts or commands within the app, potentially compromising user sessions and data. Insecure data storage practices may expose sensitive information, and denial-of-service attacks can disrupt app services.

In this section, we are going to see some tips and tricks for securing our app. The following are some of the things that we can do to secure our app:

  • HTTPS: We should always use HTTPS for all our network requests...
