Android Question How to acheive anti-tamper protection when app published in play store

[AbdurRahman]

Hi guys, How do I make app to close whenever program is changed.
Before I was using MacroRome lib named CheckLibrarySignature.
It working fine and great.
But problem is google resign my app and hence app get new signature and tampered. It won't run.
Any workaround ? or advice ? Thanks ?

One solution is to not have google re-sign your app.

Yes right. But I think its necessary to have signed by google to publish in play store. Is there any option to make google not resign it.
Or any other anti tamper method ? Thanks.

To my knowledge (and I have a few apps published w/o google signing them), google signing is not mandatory. Google signing does offer some benefits, but I can't think of them right now.

But, there might be issues with trying to turn off the google signing of your apk's - for example, it may then require you to republish the app under a different package name (and a new store listing).
