An Android library that helps prevent app piracy by verifying Google Play Licensing (LVL), APK signatures, and other tampering checks. It targets API 14+ and is integrated via Gradle/JitPack.
Use cases
- prevent my android app from being pirated
- verify apk signature at runtime
- check google play license in my app
- detect if my app was cracked or modified
- block pirated copies of my android app
- add tampering detection to android app
When to choose
- you distribute a paid app on Google Play and want lightweight license verification
- you want simple APK signature and install-source checks without building your own
- you need a drop-in Java/AndroidX library for basic anti-piracy
When to avoid
- you need guaranteed protection against skilled reverse engineers (the README itself warns this is not foolproof)
- your app is not distributed via Google Play and you cannot use LVL
- you need server-side license validation or DRM
