  • To respond to your edit: no, you just shouldn’t bring your phone

    You can’t harden your phone against every hypothetical because you can’t think of every hypothetical and it’s dumb to think you can. Why would you think you alone can outsmart teams of very well-paid people who literally sit around all day thinking about ways to track you using your phone?

    If people can execute arbitrary code in your app, they can already read your memory, and even if they couldn’t they could use java reflection to just turn off the private modifier
