disable the authentication in project settings — For more details check this article: https://vercel.com/docs/security/deployment-protection/methods-to-protect-deployments/vercel-authentication#managing-vercel-authentication.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Sentry is still sending error/crash events from React Native when the app is running in development mode, including native-side crashes. Disabling Sentry via `enabled: !__DEV__` or conditional `Sentry.init` was not sufficient for native errors.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

My Sentry Auth Token is stored in a .env file. When I build the iOS or android app this Sentry Auth Token is exposed in the bundle. — I am building a react native app using Jenkins. Tension: I would like to prevent this from being exposed to app bundle. Outcome: I only need this in build time to upload the symbol maps.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You could use a file with the secret token, placed in secure directory — as part of the bundle process. Tension: and ensure a script is run as part of the bundle process. Outcome: An example to set env variables.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Rebuild the web app with reduced Dart2js optimization by running `flutter build web --profile --dart-define=Dart2jsOptimization=O1` (or equivalent) so stack translation works correctly.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

After upgrading Sentry to 7.11, the app fails to start with a Sentry log showing ClassNotFoundException: androidx.compose.ui.node.Owner.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Disable Sentry debug logging by commenting out options.debug = kDebugMode (or otherwise turn off debug) so the class availability check/logging no longer breaks startup.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

User-submitted messages sent from a JavaScript/Angular app via Sentry.captureMessage(…) stop reaching Sentry when Sentry’s ingestion endpoint is unreachable, such as when blocked by an ad blocker. This leaves no way to forward the user’s input to support.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Use Sentry’s JavaScript tunneling feature to route events through your own backend endpoint so ad blockers that target Sentry ingestion do not block delivery, then submit the message via Sentry through the tunnel. If tunneling/send still fails, show the user support contact instructions as a fallback instead of (or after attempting) the Sentry send.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Errors from an ASP.NET Core 7 app are not appearing in Sentry, and the console shows `CSRF Verification Failed A required security token was not found or was invalid`.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Upgrade the self-hosted Sentry server to a compatible version (Sentry 20.6.0+), and align the Sentry .NET SDK version accordingly (or disable client reports via `options.SendClientReports = false` for newer SDKs if upgrading is not possible).

PERTAIN_TOProblem

processRandomSelector is not defined — Chrome Mobile WebView 87.0.4280 on Android. Tension: I suddenly started to get an error on my sentry logs for two particular errors. Outcome: These messages come from VivoBrowser or an Add-On for this Browser.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

The token is visible in inspect > application tab in my browser. — The frontend stores the token in localStorage. Tension: My problem is this flow seems not very secure. Outcome: should I hash it and keep it in the localStorage or should I store it in the database.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

On iOS 18 beta, an app using Amplify Flutter (amplify_storage_s3) fails to upload an image to Amazon S3, returning a StorageAccessDeniedException: S3 access denied when making the API call. The same code works on earlier iOS versions.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Check and update the iOS/S3 request authentication configuration (IAM permissions/credentials and Amplify storage settings) for iOS 18 beta. If the issue persists, use the AWS SDK for Swift to interact with S3 instead of Amplify Flutter.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

when I try uploading from mobile browsers, the upload just loads forever — I'm building a document uploader using Supabase Storage. Outcome: I've tried using different networks, browsers and devices, but it's still the same problem.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

My solution was to create a dedicated API route (or endpoint) and move the core logic — when sending the request to the API route. Tension: the session would be lost only on Android. Outcome: I explicitly added the access token like `Authorization: Bearer {access_token}`.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I did not include network_security_config.xml in my Android Application. — The target SDKs of my android app are android:minSdkVersion="28" and android:targetSdkVersion="35". Tension: Is it okay if I won't create Network Security Configuration since I am targeting SDKs >28 and <35? Outcome: No, you don't need to add it.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

No, you don't need to add it. — For standard apps that only communicate over `https://`. Tension: You only need to create a `network_security_config.xml` file if you need to create an exception to this secure default. Outcome: doing nothing is the best practice.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I’m referring to the official ESP-IDF documentation — after Secure Boot V2 has already been enabled. Tension: This command erases the entire flash, including the bootloader region (< 0x8000). Outcome: There is very little interaction between Secure Boot and Flash Encryption.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You can flash as before — After you've enabled Secure Boot. Tension: The only restriction is that both bootloader and app images must be signed with the key that you've configured. Outcome: No need to worry too much.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

as long as the keys are shipped together with the apk, they are not secured — Is there a way to safely deliver the SDK keys with the Android app? Tension: there is still a simple way to get them. Outcome: no matter where the SDK keys are stored.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

the API keys are stored in an encrypted form — more-annoying techniques (e.g., native code via the NDK). Tension: This too makes it more difficult for an attacker to get the keys. Outcome: but it does not prevent it completely.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

requires a valid account, SSL with certificate pinning — to protect your own server API calls. Outcome: This increases the difficulty for an attacker to get the keys.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Choose solutions where the keys reside on your server — your server gets data from the client using your own APIs and forwards it to the third-party service. Tension: To prevent an attacker from getting client-side API keys.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Is it possible to prevent screen recording while allowing screnshots in android application? — android application. Tension: FLAG_SECURE, but it prevent both screenshots and screen recording simutaneously. Outcome: No, there isn't.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

The supported way to do this is the SECURE flag. — Android application. Tension: Which blocks both, because the idea is that you have data that shouldn't be saved to disk. Outcome: No, there isn't.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

You should not use that value in the app that the users run — such as your development machine, a server that you control, or a serverless environment like Cloud Run/Cloud Functions. Tension: If a value is meant to be a secret from the users of your app. Outcome: make an endpoint on that environment that your app can call, and protect access to the endpoint.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

application.properties contains sensitive configuration and database credentials that could be exposed if committed to a Git repository.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Add application.properties (or the file containing secrets) to .gitignore and store sensitive values outside the repository (e.g., environment variables or a secrets manager). If already committed, rotate/revoke exposed credentials and remove the file from version history.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

if your computer and device are connected to an unsecured or public network — enabling ADB over TCP/IP. Tension: anyone on the same network could try to connect to your device and gain unauthorized access. Outcome: the connected device is more vulnerable to unauthorized data access, command execution, or even malware installation.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Always ensure that your device and computer are connected to a trusted and private Wi-Fi network — when ADB debugging is active. Tension: Avoid running ADB over TCP/IP in environments like coworking spaces, public Wi-Fi, etc. Outcome: After debugging, you can go extra mile by disabling ADB over TCP/IP.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

DataStore does not offer encryption — I'm using Jetpack DataStore in my Android application and want to ensure it's secure enough for storing sensitive data. Tension: could it potentially be decrypted by an attacker? Outcome: Using DataStore for the actual storage should be fine, and you can encrypt/decrypt your data yourself.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Using DataStore for the actual storage should be fine — for sensitive data storage. Tension: DataStore does not offer encryption. Outcome: you can encrypt/decrypt your data yourself.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

consider SQLCipher for Android — if your data is a better match for a relational database. Tension: Using DataStore for the actual storage should be fine. Outcome: consider SQLCipher for Android.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Never store private keys or the corresponding certificate files (.pfx/p12) on an unencrypted file system. — the private key files on an encrypted file system. Tension: private keys or the corresponding certificate files (.pfx/p12) on an unencrypted file system.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

most of the other open source solutions has been bypassed my magisk — for Flutter and Native Android.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

For your case as a last resort, call a native function — in case previous checks they can be hooked and thus bypassed. Tension: open source solutions has been bypassed my magisk. Outcome: It's still working as of today for Magisk 24+.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

an app that I had removed from the Play Store over a year ago, was still being used — and had a high number of Admob request. Tension: which led to my account limitation. Outcome: My immediate fix for this was to delete the Ad Unit ID.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

my app also available on other market stores.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Using device_info_plus to get current app's version — everytime user login or everytime app is open. Tension: If not, don't allow user to use any feature. Outcome: Send this version via an API to check the lastest version.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

all requests to `Firebase` are blocked — It works on debug but not on release. Tension: Error getting App Check token; using placeholder token instead. Error: n8.j: Error returned from API. code: 403 body: App attestation failed. Outcome: everything works now.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

I finally created a new app (with a new package name) on the Google Play console — if someone faces the same issue. Tension: everything works now. Outcome: everything works now.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Anyone can rebuild your APK in debugging mode and just put a breakpoint at the right point in your program. — I'm using `openAI` directly in my Android Kotlin App. Tension: No matter how convoluted and complex you make the process of getting the API key, at some point it will sit in memory. Outcome: Do not do this.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

write a stupid simple request forwarder in AWS lambda or Azure Functions — have your application talk to that. Tension: your application talk to that. Outcome: At a bare minimum.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

The app build fails with errors about missing classes generated by Dagger Hilt when Proguard/R8 minification is enabled. Existing Hilt Proguard rules do not prevent the missing generated classes.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Disable minification (set minifyEnabled to false) or update proguard-rules.pro to keep the required OpenJSSE/JDK internal classes by applying the missing keep rules from missing_rules.txt.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

Running an old React app on Node.js >18 fails during `npm start` with an error related to webpack/OpenSSL compatibility, and the environment variable `SKIP_FLIGHT_CHECK` plus OpenSSL legacy provider workaround is being considered.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

Avoid using `--openssl-legacy-provider` if possible; instead upgrade the React tooling/dependencies (e.g., `react-scripts`/webpack) to versions compatible with OpenSSL 3 so `npm start` works without the legacy provider and reduce cryptographic risk.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I don't want to hardcode it. — How to make secure info of my sign app when I want to release my app. Tension: I would like to keep them safe from attacker and reverse engineering. Outcome: externalizing secrets.
