Why this matters

Across iOS and Android, the same baseline applies: codesigning enforced (Play Integrity / iOS sandbox), keychain-backed secrets, certificate pinning, no debugging in release builds, encrypted local storage, biometric gating for sensitive actions, root/jailbreak detection (signal, not gate), and an MDM strategy for enterprise distribution.

Demo

Production checklist: (1) all secrets in Keychain/Keystore; (2) TLS pinning; (3) ProGuard/R8 + iOS bitcode obfuscation; (4) Play Integrity / DeviceCheck for backend; (5) biometric for sensitive flows; (6) no logs of PII; (7) re-encrypt-on-reboot via Secure Enclave / StrongBox; (8) MDM-friendly entitlements / manifest.

Try it yourself

Audit a real mobile app you have access to against this baseline. Document gaps.
Pick three gaps; fix them.
