Are hybrid applications safe?

Navigation
2

I'm starting to want to develop hybrid applications like Phonegap, Cordova or Intel-XDK. Hybrid applications run in a kind of browser. I was wondering is it possible to steal the codes made in hybrid applications. Everyone knows that anyone can see the source code of a website. So if I am going to use database connections it would be invalid to use hybrid applications. (Since it is possible for a person to steal information from the database or even delete data with this connection information).

I know that hybrid applications use JavaScript as the programming language. Is it possible to steal this information after it has been compiled? Some tool inspecting element maybe.

It depends on the platform you will develop ..

* Android - > Generate APK, which are fragile, opening them with WinRAR it will show all your code in the www folder.

* iOS - > A little more secure, but it has a way to easily open .ipa files (I think it's the same) with WinRAR.

* Windows Phone - > is the most complicated of anybody to achieve, when compiling in Visual Studio (in PhoneGap it generates a .xap, which is not universal and can not easily be published in the store), if copying via PhoneGap is a little insecure, if you create a project in Visual Studio, in addition to being universal (for Windows and Windows Phone) it will be safe as soon as you send it to the store and Microsoft puts the certificates in the package, so it becomes very difficult to open the files.

But you should have ways to make the code secure, a very simple improvement is to encrypt the files using Windows itself.

What can be done is a very quick search on google:

I'm not going to put a response link from another site but google search will always bring expected results.
