Writing Secure Code for Android

This specializations teaches you to incorporate security in Android application development for mobile devices. Focused mostly on Kotlin, JetBrains' open source programming language, which Google adopted for Android, you will learn best practices for addressing the most common security mistakes Android app developers make. You will also learn the limits of Kotlin as a secure language and how to compensate for those limits. Each course explores a major Android security category. You will work with many examples, directly seeing the impact of missing or poor security in the code. You will also learn where to conduct mobile app and Android-specific vulnerability research online to continue improving your craft
