DCC (Dex-to-C Compiler) is a method-based ahead-of-time compiler that translates Android DEX bytecode into C code compiled via the NDK. It is used to harden Android APKs by converting selected Java methods to native code, making them harder to reverse-engineer.

Use cases

• convert dex bytecode to c code
• harden an android apk against reverse engineering
• compile selected java methods to native libraries
• obfuscate android app logic via aot compilation
• generate a jni project from an apk's dex code

When to choose

• you want to protect sensitive Android app logic from decompilation
• you need to translate specific DEX methods to C with blacklist/whitelist or annotation control
• you are researching DEX-to-native compilation techniques

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested solution for production apps (the author warns it is not extensively tested)
• performance of the protected methods is critical, since JNI interaction can severely impact speed
• you need to obfuscate non-Android Java bytecode
