Security should not be an add-on but an integral part of the development process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure APIs:<\/strong> The communication between your mobile app and backend services must be secure. Utilize OAuth2, JWT, or similar protocols for authentication.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Principle of Least Privilege:<\/strong> Only request the permissions your app needs. This applies to both user-granted device permissions and permissions granted by backend services.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supply Chain:<\/strong> Third-party libraries bring efficiency but can also introduce security unknowns.
