How to encrypt ".mlapp" file ?

How can I encrypt ".mlapp" app designer file without using MATLAB Compiler ? I want to create an installation file of an application which is created by app designer and encrypt the source file of the application.

As per my understanding you want to encrypt .mlapp app designer file without using MATLAB Compiler.I don’t think you can encrypt source file of a MATLAB app designed in App Designer without MATLAB Compiler because Designer Files are MATLAB Code files which can be easily read and modified by anyone access to file.

If you want to protect source code of your app designer app, you can use MATLAB Compiler to create standalone executable or shared library. This will compile your code into a format that can be run on any machine without requiring MATLAB Installation. This compiled code can also be encrypted to protect the source code.

another option may be exporting the mlapp to .m files and converting the m file to .p file

Hi Aidin,

you can use App Designer to export the code as a .m file and then use the pcode function (https://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/building-a-content-obscured-format-with-p-code.html) as normal.
