objection VS Free-RASP-Community

This is true, by default Android apps do not trust user-installed certificate authorities. IMO the easiest solution if you're doing security testing on a dedicated device is MagiskTrustUserCerts[1]. If you're not testing on a dedicated device or you don't want to root the device, I'd recommend using the objection[2] tool which has a guided mode for patching an apk, and you can modify the manifest to add your CA or to trust all user-installed CAs.

Then use runtime tools like Runtime Mobile Security, Grapefruit, and Objection to see stuff in action and practice Frida along with as these tools usually support loading custom Frida scripts.

you might have more luck in some whitehat hacking groups etc. ive used https://github.com/sensepost/objection to try out my own app.

In some form yes. Internally this is just a Frida gadget script which you can see here does support IOS.

if i may ask, how did you test the app? would you recommend this?

RASP: freeRASP - free app shielding and security monitoring

Here is the question: Could you point me towards a well-documented project/library? I am not yet satisfied with the current state of freeRASP's docs: common README + Android README. I am asking myself whether more images would improve it since it is IMO too wordy. Thanks a lot guys!

Yes, it protects against majority of common vulnerabilities, check the readme. I admire that it is free - a huge advantage for my smaller projects.

The installation source control is already recommended. I would add you can get this exact protection and much more protections using community all-in-one library freeRASP

2) Will freeRASP stop someone from cloning your app? Yes. freeRASP has many checks which fight against the cloners. I would say that it can defend the app against 99% of attacks. The last 1% (national threat actors, hacking groups, highly advanced attackers) may overcome the protection available in the freeRASP. For these cases, Talsec makes an advanced enterprise security suite. However, if you aren't a bank, fintech, or other significant business, you should be pretty much covered by the functionality available in free freeRASP. 3) How can it know if the app is cloned? Common cloning red flags are: Signature change, file integrity change, change of package name, and install origin. There are different checks for each (Android, iOS, Flutter) platform.
