KOBIL Appshield Scanner

Key Benefits

Real Device Runtime Security Testing: Performs dynamic security tests on real Android and iOS devices instead of emulators, enabling accurate detection of runtime protections with fewer false positives.

Comprehensive Mobile Security Coverage: Checks for root/jailbreak detection, anti-debugging, anti-hooking (Frida), code injection defenses, screenshot/screen recording detection, screen mirroring detection, keylogger protection, and tapjacking prevention.

Hybrid Dynamic and AI-Powered Static Analysis: Automatically falls back to AI-powered static analysis when dynamic tests cannot run, ensuring consistent security assessments.

Clear Output for CI/CD Automation: Provides a clear output variable (`AC_APPSHIELD_IS_APP_SECURE`) for automated pass/fail decisions in your pipeline.

Optional Detailed Security Reporting: Optionally generates a comprehensive PDF security report delivered via email for deeper analysis, auditing, and compliance needs.

Points to Consider

Integration Setup: Ensure the KOBIL Appshield Scanner component is correctly added to your Appcircle workflow and configured with the appropriate Android (APK/AAB) or iOS (IPA) artifacts.

Security Gate Usage: Use the `AC_APPSHIELD_IS_APP_SECURE` output variable to enforce security gates, preventing insecure builds from progressing to deployment.

Real-World Runtime Behavior: Because testing is performed on real devices, some apps may actively block analysis; in such cases, static analysis results are used to complete the assessment.

Regular Security Validation: Run KOBIL Appshield Scanner on every build or release candidate to continuously validate that security hardening mechanisms remain intact as the app evolves.
