Today’s Android applications handle increasingly sensitive data, from financial transactions to biometric information. Despite this, a large number of vulnerabilities originate from common developer errors.

This session will explore the actual attack surface of Android apps and introduce the contemporary tools and APIs provided by Google to enhance user security.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge on:
* Securing local data storage.
* Implementing safe network communication.
* Strengthening authentication mechanisms and sensitive actions.
* Protecting the application's code itself.

We will analyze real-world examples and frequent security pitfalls found in production applications, demonstrating how to apply up-to-date Android APIs and best practices for remediation. Regardless of your experience level (junior or senior), you will leave with concrete, actionable improvements for your code to implement immediately.

This session will be provided virtually at Devfest Cairo 2025.
