Hello.
I want to develop a mobile application-game using Unreal Engine 5.4.4, C++, 3ds Max, Google Cloud. Actually, it will be both an application and a game. I will prefer to call it an application.
My main question is, in “.apk” file format, will my files in the application be safe?
My questions are as follows:
File Format: I will make an application with Unreal Engine 5.4.4, C++ and publish it with Play Store, App Store.
I will use “.apk” file format for Android and “.ipa” file format for iOS.
When I upload the application as “.apk”, can my code be stolen by reverse engineering even though it is C++?
Even if my code is not stolen, will the “.apk” version of my application be released and circulated on different sites?
I know that my code will be safe on iOS and I have no worries, but on android it gives me a fear that my code will be stolen.
Since the “play money” amounts in the application will work through the server, there is no problem in that regard.
Publishing: I will release the app on Play Store, App Store.
Security: Will my game code and source files be safe during this process? Can “.apk” files be opened with another program?
The security of my source and game code is very important to me. I don’t know enough about file formats, so I ask for your help.
Thank you for your support and interest.
Sincerely yours.
