DexProtector is an EMVCo-evaluated and approved mobile application protection tool that helps organizations protect their mobile apps in the wild. It secures application logic, prevents tampering, and detects compromised environments without requiring code changes or complex integrations. Used by organizations in more than 75 countries and protecting applications on over 500 million devices, DexProtector is trusted by teams building secure mobile banking, payment, and other high-risk applications. Protect apps without changing your code: DexProtector integrates directly into your build process as a CLI, Gradle, or CI/CD task. Protections are automatically applied to Android and iOS apps and SDKs (APKs, AABs, AARs, IPAs, frameworks), with no SDKs, no refactoring, and no disruption to development workflows. Prevent reverse engineering, tampering, and runtime attacks: DexProtector combines multiple layers of protection to secure both application code and runtime behavior. • Protects code with advanced obfuscation and encryption • Detects compromised environments (rooted, jailbroken, and emulated devices) • Prevents debugging, dynamic instrumentation, and runtime manipulation • Enforces application integrity and anti-tampering controls Built for regulated and high-risk environments: DexProtector has been evaluated and approved under EMVCo SBMP (Software-Based Mobile Payments) as a Software Protection Tool (SPT), helping to streamline certification for applications and SDKs, and supporting compliance in highly-regulated industries. Extend protection with real-time threat intelligence: DexProtector can be integrated with Licel's Alice Threat and Device Intelligence solution to provide real-time insight into device risk, threat signals, and suspicious behavior. This enables teams to detect and respond to threats beyond the application layer. Key capabilities: • String, class, and native library encryption • Cross-platform code protection (React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, etc.) • Root, jailbreak, and emulator detection • Debugging and dynamic instrumentation detection • Public key certificate validation • White-box cryptography • Anti-malware mechanisms • Mobile API Protection • Anti-tampering and integrity enforcement ![DexProtector](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_38f5e5bcc23e8d2deb2bb8dc048c2b11/dexprotector.jpg "DexProtector") DexProtector Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **1** discussion ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • over 3 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=What+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F&title=What+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-dexprotector-used-for) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-dexprotector-used-for&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-dexprotector-used-for) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=What+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-dexprotector-used-for%0aWhat+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=What+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fwhat-is-dexprotector-used-for%0aWhat+is+DexProtector+used+for%3F) - Copy link - [ ## What is DexProtector used for? ](/discussions/what-is-dexprotector-used-for) What is DexProtector used for?
