In their own words
DashO
DashO protects Android, Java, and Kotlin applications from reverse engineering, code tampering, and unauthorized debugging. It applies protection after compilation as a build step, without requiring code changes. Obfuscation options include patented Overload Induction renaming, control-flow obfuscation, and string encryption. Configurable runtime checks can detect tampering, debugging, rooted devices, emulators, and hooking frameworks, then respond according to configuration. Teams can add DashO to continuous integration through its command-line interface, Gradle plugins for Android and Java, or Ant. There is no dedicated Maven plugin; a Maven build can invoke DashO through Ant. Installers are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux/GNU, and the product processes Android applications and Java or Kotlin class files. The product page says build-time protections have little to no direct runtime impact, while configured runtime checks may add overhead. A free trial is offered, with no duration stated. Plans are quoted rather than publicly priced, and allowances vary by plan.
