Obfuscate javascript

[haller]

I am part of a photography forum team, I created my first uxp plugins and I would like to distribute it to forum members, but before distributing it I would like to obfuscate the javascript code, What service do you use to obfuscate the code? Thanks to anyone who wants to help me.

There are a few topics about this on the forum already. Check this one:

I'm Shocked! Why Are Plugins Decrypted on Install?

I just realized that UXP plugins are decrypted and installed as plain text on the user’s computer. Seeing the ccx installer file encyrpted was one of my initial motivations to rewrite my old border scripts for the UXP framework. I’ve poured months, literally thousands of hours into developing a feature-rich plugin and now find that all of my code is just sitting there for anyone that buys the plugin to see.

Do you obfuscate UXP or ExtendScript? Not all obfuscators work with ExtendScript. Or you need to fine tune settings to avoid some problems. But for UXP it should usually just work.

Also some obfuscation settings requires you to allow string execution in manifest file in UXP.
