flutter-obfuscate-docs

Obfuscate Flutter code by building with the --obfuscate and --split-debug-info flags in your Flutter build commands. This renames classes, methods, and functions across Android APK/AAR, iOS IPA/frameworks, and desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows), making reverse engineering significantly harder while preserving app functionality.

Flutter obfuscation does not protect against all reverse-engineering techniques and cannot eliminate bytecode analysis entirely. Web builds use minification instead of obfuscation. Obfuscation also increases build complexity and requires careful symbol-file management for crash deobfuscation.

Deobfuscate stack traces by retaining symbol files generated during the obfuscated build, then mapping crash logs back to source code using those symbols. This workflow requires backing up symbol files and applying them to obfuscated stack traces for post-release diagnostics.

Yes, generate symbol maps alongside obfuscated builds using --split-debug-info to enable crash deobfuscation. Symbol files map obfuscated names back to original source, and without them you cannot diagnose crashes or symbolize stack traces from production builds.

Obfuscation works on Android (APK/AAR), iOS (IPA/frameworks), and desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows). Web builds do not support obfuscation; use minification instead. Each platform requires the same --obfuscate and --split-debug-info build flags.

Flutter web does not support obfuscation. Web builds use minification as an alternative to reduce code size and hinder readability, but minification provides weaker protection than obfuscation on native platforms.
