You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: Mobile & Frontend Development
- Use case: Mobile Security Hardening
- Source task:
  - Harden the security of a {{react_native_flutter_ios_android}} application that {{describe_what_the_app_does_and_what_data_it_handles}}.
  - Step 1: secure local storage (what must be encrypted, Keychain/Keystore usage).
  - Step 2: certificate pinning implementation and update strategy.
  - Step 3: obfuscation and reverse engineering protection.
  - Step 4: screenshot and screen recording prevention for sensitive screens.
  - Step 5: jailbreak/root detection and response strategy. Provide code for each control.

# Goal
Secure storage implementation, certificate pinning code, obfuscation approach, screenshot prevention, and jailbreak detection.

# Constraints
- Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output.
- Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Secure storage implementation, certificate pinning code, obfuscation approach, screenshot prevention, and jailbreak detection.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When a mobile app handles sensitive financial, health, or authentication data and must resist device-level attacks.

PRO TIP

Certificate pinning requires an update strategy β€” a pinned certificate that expires without an app update will lock out all users.
