    I'm looking for ways to protect the .apk file before publishing it on SideQuest market. I know that is technically not possible to achieve a 100% level of protection, but I would be happy in making things a bit harder for people trying to snoop into the source code after a successful de-compilation.

    I'm currently using IL2CPP as Backend Script system which AFAIK could help, but I was also looking into ProGuard. Unfortunately, if I try to activate the minification (`Build Settings --> Player Settings --> Other Options --> Publishing Settings --> Minification --> ProGuard`) the app stops working on my Oculus Quest.

    Is there any way to make it work or any other means to achieve a higher level of protection?

    Protection against what? if people *want* to rip assets or look at the code/inject stuff they can do it anyways regardless how much you add protection. If its for multiplayer then you just have to have more server side/cross client authentication for actions.

    Like you said IL2CPP helps a lot and you are required to use it anyways if you release to the store. Anything beyond that I would just suggest use the time on improving the game than trying to combat source diggers or hackers.
