The security gap in AI generated mobile apps
Shipped 3 Android apps last month using Cursor. Realized none of them had basic protections against: Debugging/reverse engineering Root detection Code injection AI writes functional code, but it doesn't think like a security engineer. Built a tool to bridge this gap upload .aab, get protection, no SDK integration needed. Would love feedback from fellow vibe coders.
Your vibe coded app is live... but is it secure?
AI tools like Cursor, Bolt, and Copilot are amazing for shipping fast. But here's the thing — they don't think about mobile security. That APK you just built in 2 hours? It probably has: No anti-tampering protection No root/jailbreak detection No protection against reverse engineering We built AppShield to fix this in 60 seconds. Upload your APK → get a vulnerability report → apply protection....
When scanning is this easy (APK / AAB / Play URL), should mobile security start earlier?
Most teams delay security because scanning/building protection feels heavy. But if you can secure your app just by: Uploading an APK, Uploading an AAB, or Pasting your Google Play URL, …does that change the “I’ll secure it later” mindset? And if you want to ship a protected build immediately, Security Box just needs an AAB for final shielding. Honest question to devs/founders: Does easier...
Would you use a security tool that works with APK, AAB and Play Store links?
Most security tools lock you into a single upload format. But dev teams don’t always have the same build ready sometimes it’s an APK, sometimes an AAB, and sometimes the app is already live on Google Play. That’s why we updated AppShield to support: APK upload AAB upload Google Play Store URL scanning (And for Security Box specifically: AAB is still required for the final shielding build) No...
Which security risks worry you the most in mobile apps?
While building KOBIL AppShield, we studied dozens of real-world attacks. Some developers worry about reverse engineering, others about Frida/Magisk, and some about runtime manipulation. From your perspective as a builder: Debugging tools? Hooking frameworks? SSL pinning bypass? Root/JB devices? Automation attacks? Screen capture risks? App tampering? What keeps YOU awake at night as a mobile dev?
What’s the biggest mobile app security headache you’ve had?
We’re getting ready to launch KOBIL AppShield, and we want to hear from you. If you’ve ever shipped a mobile app, you probably ran into at least one of these: Integrating heavy SDKs Reverse engineering attempts Debugging/hooking tools bypassing your checks Rooted devices causing chaos Security reviews taking weeks Team lacking mobile security expertise What was the hardest or most annoying...
