In 2018, an Indian spent an average of 3hrs 43mins using the mobile phone.In upcoming days the spending time on mobile and apps will increase .
Data stealing ,hacking and ransomware attack are some common problem that's why we have to make our app more secure and better management.
High-Level Authentication:-
During mobile app development we have to check that the app which we are developing is checking authentication or not.Before Make any process in the app we have to get all permissions form the user and also get the device id,Password generate by OTP .Weak authentication process is a major factor when it comes to security breaches in mobile apps these days.Having multi-stage authentication basically ensures that there are multiple fences before someone can log-in.
Encrypt All Data :-
During app using user transfer many MB of data So that Every single byte of data that the user exchanges via a mobile app should be encrypted!By encrypting the data, you are essentially converting text to vague code which can only be decoded by those who have the key.In case if theft or criminal get data they can not be use because that data is vague for their use until they will not get encrypted key .
Authorized APIs:-
APIs cannot be trusted every time simply because some of them can have a loose code written by a lousy developer thus putting the data at risk. This can become a gateway for hackers who misuse the data grossly. Using authorized APIs is the only way going forward with experts recommending that APIs be authorized centrally for maximum security.

Securing Libraries
Using third party libraries is sometimes a good thing but most of the times it can lead to major security flaws. Hackers can get in and execute bad code thus crashing the system and steal the user data from the app. There have been many examples such as the GNU C Library which was affected for several years but the issue was under the radar.
Keep Testing
Ultimately it comes down to how rigorously and properly the mobile app was tested during the development and QA stage. Even when the app is live, testing is something that never really ends and one cannot be too cautious about it. Fixing issues and bugs no matter how small in updates is a part and parcel of the app maker.
The above mentioned steps can be undertaken to make mobile application development even more secure.
