- unwiredben 15y agoPDK application are compiled C++, so you only have object code. Most of the apps HP ships on device are JS apps, so source is there. A developer can choose to only ship minified/obfuscated source code if they want, but there still has to be something for V8 to parse and execute.
- barkerja 15y agoRight, I understand that but what I'm getting at is: if I create an application that is purely JS/HTML/CSS based, will my source be available to other developers that put their phone into "developer mode"? If so, is there any way to make it not publicly available?
- unwiredben 15y agoNo, there's no way to completely hide the source. However, we do have a key manager API that can be used to hide encryption keys so they're not exposed in your source.
- rmxdave 15y agoAll non-PDK apps are viewable.
