Accessing the source of my application after extracting the apk file

Hello,

I recently developed an application based on ionic 3, but after compilation of the app we manage to access the source of the application by extracting the apk file. Would you have a method to recommend me to avoid this problem!

If you build in production mode, minimization/uglification is performed. Naturally, this makes debugging impossible. If you are concerned about people being able to snoop passwords or other secret strings out of your app binary, then you need to not store them in there in the first place, because anything the device can access during operation of the app can be accessed by anybody with a copy of the app binary.

When I start the production mode I have this error

> ionic-app-scripts build --prod

You’re going to have to allow more memory to be available.
