How to secure my android app against RESKIN?

After a long hard work in developing an app, with a creative idea, then put it in the app store. I was shocked that my app was duplicated and reskined. OMG.

those peopple they just change the color theme and the app name then they put our app in their name.

Hense, Is there any technical solution, or an approach to prevent and to secure our app against this violation.

thank you in advance.

This is called Reverse engineering because all resources that are reskined so called by you must be first extracted from application so you have to actually reverse engineering which is not completely stoppable how ever you can refer to this question this is what you are looking for

First of all, please check whether you enabled ProGuard to obfuscate your code when releasing. If yes, then it is time to switch to DexGuard (a commercial version of ProGuard). From my experience, it is still able to hack an application which turned on ProGuard (if you can read smalli code), but there is no way to attack an application which was protected by DexGuard.

Please refer this for more information: https://www.guardsquare.com/en/dexguard
