You can learn more about how to use App Safer at Getting started with App Safer and Using App Safer, but we recommend that you first look at the full scenario of using App Safer. Reading the guide after learning the usage scenario will allow you to use App Safer more smoothly.
You can apply App Safer in one of the following ways. Review the scenarios based on the method of application.
- Easy application: this involves directly uploading an AAB or APK file to the console, easily applying a security policy, and using the protected file by downloading it. This method is only applicable to Android apps.
- SDK integration: this involves downloading a security policy in the form of Software Development Kit (SDK) and porting the API. This method can be applied to both Android and iOS apps.
Scenario for easy application
The scenario for easily applying App Safer is as follows:
1. Set usage permissions
If you need to manage and share App Safer with multiple users, you can operate it by setting permissions for each user. Permissions for each user can be configured as administrator and user permissions through Sub Account of the NAVER Cloud Platform, and roles can be defined for each permission. Since permission settings are not required, you can set or cancel the settings at any time in situations where permission is required while using App Safer.
