I have a problem with JavaScript obfuscation in my Ionic 6 - Capacitor 6 - Angular 14 project, I followed the [official guide](https://ionic.io/docs/tutorials/mobile-security/javascript-obfuscation) using javascript-obfuscator and I can see the obfuscated files correctly inside the `www` folder but when I enter the apk the `assets\public\main.js` file is not obfuscated as well as the others.

I have also tried removing the android platform `ionic cap remove android` and adding it back `ionic cap add android`.

I found the solution, you need to change the line to the scripts section of package.json from:

```
...
  "scripts": {     
    "capacitor:copy:after": "npx javascript-obfuscator www --output www --self-defending true"
  }

```

To

```
    ...
  "scripts": {     
    "ionic:build:after": "npx javascript-obfuscator www --output www --self-defending true"
  }

```
