A good analogy to tell people about API keys is: It is a bit like a super password. It identifies the program while authenticating it. it can give full access to your account, or to specific features restricted for that key. It is a very long password, but often doesn't have more security (though you can often restrict by IP address). It can do anything your application can do and should never, ever leave your controlled computer(s), like a private key.
Really useful content, thank you. An annoying note sorry ... although Apple have done their best to convince the world otherwise, we do already have a word for applications .... it's, um, "application". 😉 Don't let's keep spreading the Apple cool-aide.

nice vid
Any more tips for developers to protect our mobiles apps, particularly expo apps.
Such great advice!
Sir we need practical
thanks a ton
You can also IP limit the API key so even if it leaks you at least have some sort of protection until you change it.
Great video Adam!
And loved the intro😂
Even it's not iOS topics, very interesting one, thanks for sharing!
PS that intro was fire. Entertaining and to the point explaining the video within the first 20s.
Loved this video mate. Very relevant to the whole rabbit situation too.
Thank Adam. It always interesting to watch your videos
