[android-developers] Re: Application checksum at runtime

Sure, if they could reverse engineer the program logic then they could
generate the correct checksum...but that's not so easy. Since the
checking logic is on the server side, they won't even know what part
of the code is causing the non-response. Anything that raises the
reverse-engineering bar is going to motivate a potential cracker to
try to break some other app instead of mine.
