Piracy is not the only reason why you would decrypt an app.



Exactly. A lot of people don't know that you can easily crack a .ipa binary and see things like method names and string constants with about 5 minutes of work. You can do the same with Android .apk files. Seriously, if you're doing security intensive software, try to crack your own binary and see what information you can get. You'll probably see way more than you thought you would.
