App Shielding for Android is also available as a compatibility release. This is necessary to ensure successful shielding of your app if you use a third-party SDK, such as a payment SDK. In such a case, shielding with a regular App Shielding version is not successful as the debugger protection of the third-party SDK clashes with App Shielding.
The compatibility release should only be selected for integrations with third-party SDKs as using it impacts the overall performance. For integrations that do not use third-party SDKs or any other app feature whose debugger protection clashes with App Shielding, it is not necessary and not recommended to use the compatibility release.
Compatibility releases of App Shielding are never listed as “Latest”. To select a compatibility release for your project, follow these steps:
In the OneSpan Mobile Portal, create a new project for the required operating system with the latest App Shielding version.
Open the project you just created and click Change version.
From the list of available versions, select the compatibility release version.
