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.

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. I know that it’s not really possible to completely protect scripting languages from bein…

Jednou jsem si říkal, že bych mohl napsat komplet celý kód v češtině… názvy proměnných, tříd, vlastností… atd. včetně diakritiky a háčků nad písmeny. Zpomalilo by to porozumění textu 😃 A potom možná nějaký nástroj na obfsucaci jako další vrstvu.

I tried some obfuscator but after obfuscating the code it doesn’t work???

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.
