We've released Digital.ai Hybrid JavaScript Protection 8.2.0, and the headline feature is worth your attention: Virtual Machine Obfuscation (VMObfuscation) Guard is now available for hybrid targets.
Why this matters. VMObfuscation transforms your JavaScript functionality into VM instructions that are meaningless outside the virtual machine context. This makes reverse engineering significantly harder—attackers can't simply read your code logic even with full access to your application bundle. Better yet, VM-based obfuscation requires completely different tools and skillsets than traditional JavaScript analysis, dramatically shrinking the pool of attackers capable of reverse engineering your app and launching exploits.
Easy to implement. Add a few annotations to your source code and a few configuration lines to your protection blueprint. That's it. You get enterprise-grade code protection without rewriting your application or becoming an obfuscation expert.
What else is new:
Fixed the protection engine crash when using Debug Mode with SubTargets
Optional chaining operator now works correctly in Debug Mode
Added Sentry support for React-Native applications running Hermes
