PreEmptive Extends Free Access to Dotfuscator for WP7 Plus New WP8/WinRT Plans

December 27, 2012 5679 Views Sebastian Holst
PreEmptive Solutions is pleased to announce our extended support for Windows Phone and WinRT apps. The specifics are as follows: Dotfuscator for Windows Phone 7: PreEmptive Solutions will be extending complimentary access to Dotfuscator for Windows Phone 7 through April, 2013. This means that existing users will continue to have access to world-class obfuscation for their WP7 apps; also, new users will continue to have complimentary access as well. Dotfuscator Professional: Dotfuscator Professional currently supports obfuscation for Windows Phone 7 (WP7), Windows Phone 8 (WP8) and WinRT. The professional SKU will soon include the injection of application instrumentation for WP8 and WinRT as well (WP7 is already supported). This professional SKU also supports all flavors and versions of the .NET Framework beyond mobile including Windows 8. Announcement Dotfuscator for Windows Phone and WinRT: This new version of Dotfuscator will be available in early 2013 and will support all modern surfaces including WP7, WP8 and WinRT apps. Special pricing: This WP/WinRT version of Dotfuscator, let’s call it Dotfuscator WW for now, will be offered in two ways; one for the individual hobbyist or “moonlighter” and another for development teams requiring higher levels of support and more flexible deployment options. In both cases, pricing will be set at a significantly lower price point as compared to our standard Professional SKU (due to the unique nature of this “consumer-focused” market as well as the limited functionality of the Dotfuscator WW SKU, e.g. it only operates on WinRT and Windows Phone apps). Conclusion For those developers targeting Windows Phone 7 - you are all set through April 2013. Look for Dotfuscator for WinRT and Windows Phone in 2013 that offers IP protection across all of Microsoft's modern surfaces priced to accommodate the "modern developer." Can’t wait to protect your WP8 or WinRT code? Contact us at sales@preemptive.com and I’m sure we will be able to work something out. FAQ: Will my Dotfuscator for WP7 expire at the end of 2012? No – it will expire on 4/30/2013. If I am targeting WP7 and obfuscating with Dotfuscator WP7, will my app run on a WP8 phone? Yes! When will Dotfuscator for WP and WINRT be available? We are not committing to a specific date at this time, but the date will be well before the expiry of Dotfuscator for WP7 – developers will have plenty of time to make the transition if they so desire. Is there any support for Windows Phone 8 or WinRT today? Yes, Dotfuscator Professional supports these and all other .NET flavors. For pricing and availability, you can contact sales@preemptive.com. Will there be a free version of Dotfuscator for Windows Phone after 4/30/2013? Only Dotfuscator Community Edition (CE) included with Visual Studio will be free after 4/30/2013. Dotfuscator CE 2012 (the version embedded inside Visual Studio 2012) can obfuscate Windows Phone assemblies, but it cannot automatically consume XAP files and so there are additional steps required to make this work. Dotfuscator CE 2012 cannot obfuscate WinRT apps at all. What about instrumentation and exception monitoring? There has been no complimentary access to PreEmptive’s Runtime Intelligence Service since Microsoft discontinued its funding for the Windows Phone development community. However, if a developer injects exception monitoring specifically (versus feature tracking) via Dotfuscator, developers can now take advantage of PreEmptive Analytics for TFS that is included as a part of Visual Studio and TFS 2012. If you don’t already use TFS, check with Microsoft as they have a number of very attractive campaigns to make TFS available at no cost to small development teams. Of course, for a subscription fee, PreEmptive Solutions supports session, feature, user and exception monitoring and analytics across all .NET runtimes and devices as well as JavaScript, C++, Java and Android. For more information on PreEmptive Analytics, visit www.preemptive.com/pa Will Dotfuscator for WinRT and Windows Phone be able to obfuscate or instrument other .NET applications? No. The full Dotfuscator Professional will be required. What is the difference between a development team license and a hobbyist license? The final details have not been published yet, but the distinction should be fairly intuitive; if you are developing an app on your own or even with a few buddies to see if you can make a mark in this new and exciting world of modern apps – and you’re doing this outside of your “day job” – you are most definitely a hobbyist – no matter how successful your work may be – and we hope it is wildly successful. If you’re building an app for your employer – then you’re going to require a development team option (and you’re going to want it too for your own requirements). We will of course be crystal clear on all of this as we officially release Dotfuscator WW and, as always, if you have any immediate questions on this, email sales@preemptive.com and someone will get back to you promptly.

Protecting Java applications that use Jackson for JSON



JSON is a standard format for sharing objects and data within an application. When working in Java, there is no built-in support for JSON processing. There are, however, several widely-used libraries and options to choose from. In this article, we will focus on Jackson, which is one of the most popular.

Inventa, a Wireless Technology Company, Protects their Android Application with DashO

The Beginnings of Inventa

Having worked in the wireless mobile technology domain in the US, Anand Virani, became intrigued by the growing tech and wireless trends and wanted to explore the field more for himself. He noticed a boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) and that smartphones were becoming more central to how people interacted with each other at home, in the office, and in public places. What if there was a way phones could connect with each other without the need for Internet or cloud access? Smartphones were the future and Virani was determined to make a profitable business model based on this new trend.

Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator



Surgical Theater Protects their Medical Applications with Dotfuscator

How It All Started

How is flying a fighter plane similar to performing neurosurgery? They have more in common than you’d think. In 2005, Monty Avisar and Alon Geri, two Israeli fighter pilots were assigned to work with Lockheed Martin to build a $50 million F-16 Flight Simulator program for the Israeli Air Force to improve hand-eye coordination skills for their pilots during combat. Avisar took on the role of project manager and Geri served as senior engineer; the project was a success.

Four years later in 2009, the two finished their military service in Israel and moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Their experience working in virtual reality applications inspired them to wonder where this technology could also be applied. With several connections to surgeons, the two came to understand the ins and outs of operation procedures; in a similar way, surgeons were also working on a battlefield. What if surgeons could also train like fighter pilots and preview their surgical procedure, much like a fighter pilot could pre-fly their mission? The surgeons could pre-plan the operation from every angle and every approach to increase their situational awareness. And a year later, Surgical Theater was born.

Integrating DashO into a Maven Build



Maven is perhaps the most widely-used project management tool for Java. Based on the Project Object Model (POM), it is used not only for compilation of source code, but also dependency management, documentation, running tests, packaging, deployment, and more. We are frequently asked if we have a Maven plugin for running DashO. Though we do not offer a specific Maven plugin, adding DashO to your Maven-based project is surprisingly easy by leveraging Ant.
