Play integrity and signing services
Google Play's integrity and signing services help you to ensure that users experience your apps and games in the way you intend.
Call the Integrity API at important moments in your app to check that user actions and requests are coming from your unmodified app binary, installed by Google Play, running on a genuine Android device. Your app's backend server can decide what to do next to prevent abuse, unauthorized access, and attacks.
Automatic protection
Google Play’s automatic protection is a service that helps you protect your apps and games against unauthorized redistribution and piracy. When users get your protected app from an unknown distribution channel, they’ll be prompted to get your official app from Google Play.
Play App Signing
Play App Signing manages and protects your app signing key on Google’s secure infrastructure and offers upgrade options to increase security. Google Play uses your app signing key to generate optimized, distribution APKs from your Android App Bundles.
