Please stop making public boolean isProductPurchased(derp whatever) methods. It is way too easy to short circuit this and let me download all your shit even though Android vending doesn't think I have a license. Anyway, a friend asked me to crack a game for him. Judging by the price and studio that released it, I told him it was probably not doable. It was actually embarrassingly easy.

Honestly, most devs/studios don't really care. If you can modify the source code of an application you can generally modify everything it does. Sure they can obfuscate or hide it, but the attacker still controls everything that happens on the device. Unless the app is dependent on a third party server they control, there's not really anything you can do.
Doesn't help that most android devs are absolutely fucking retarded and just crank out shit-tier apps by following tutorials.
