Mobile App Security with Kerry W. Lothrop | The Xamarin Show

This week, James is joined by friend of the show Kerry Lothrop, Microsoft MVP, who talks to us about securing mobile applications. We chat about how to hide those API keys, use certificate pinning, and how to monitor your app's traffic.

Every guest is James' good friend :-D

I'm disappointed, this is about data transfer in apps, but I was looking for securing the actual app, e.g. to prevent scraping of connection strings

Very interested

Trusting an average app developer on having top-notch security implemented in the app is so silly. I think security is about the least consern to getting an app ready, on average. But it's the real world situation, facts. I'm really interested in how the future turns out in here. You could keep educating users and developers, or find some kind of a blanket solution (which could be most impactful).
