Cordova / Phonegap lock the source app code to be not edited/hacked

Question

Everyone knows cordova and phonegap uses a webview so the app contains html and js and css files, which means they can be edited.

What i am wondering, is there any way to lock/ make these files not editable once the app is installed on the phone? hide the code in some way ?

Could be great to know much about this, however this should be what app stores should do , hiding the code should be not done by developers i guess, but if you have any trick/idea/ clue please share it!

thank you!

Answer 1

You can obfuscate the html,css and javascript files...

Some useful links:

You have to understand that obfuscate is not encrypt.
Your code can be reversed. But not by lazy programmers.
