Secure your app’s resources with a new algorithm

When generating .4dz files, 4D uses a standard zip format by default. If you are a software publisher, you’ll be happy to know that 4D v19 R2 added a feature that allows preventing users of your application from seeing the content of the 4DZ, and therefore from being able to modify it.

HOW to proceed?

It’s simple. If you do not want to use the standard zip format, you just have to add the “UseStandardZipFormat” XML key with the value “False” in your buildApp.4DSettings file. By default, 4D uses the standard format.

For more details, read this documentation.
