Can this be applied to string resources?

Amazing plugin!! I absolutely adore it and it's made my life leaps and bounds easier.

Now, is it possible to use this on a string resource file to encrypt the strings at build time like the rest? I'd rather not manage encrypted values in the Java code itself, and instead in xml. However, if that's just not doable no worries, I figured I'd check.

Thanks!

Hi @djzara,

Thanks for your feedback. Enigma doesn't encrypt resource files because there is plenty of other good solutions for that on GitHub.

However, from my point of view, I doesn't embed sensitive data in resource file which are to easy to reverse engineer, that why I focused on JAVA source code. At the same time Enigma inject fake data into the code to make harder the hacker job.
