Hide Source Code Extension

Hi Everyone,
 
I’m currently trying to ensure that our extension code is not visible to others, but I keep encountering inconsistent results with the same setup. For example:
  1.  I did not declare the "resourceExposurePolicy" properties in the app.json file for one extension, and the source code folder is hidden (which is the desired outcome).
 
 
2. When applying the same approach to another extension, the source code folder remains visible.
 
 
 
3. Even after adding the "resourceExposurePolicy" properties to app.json for the extension in point 2, the source code folder is still visible.
 
 
 
I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide on this matter.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

    Hi Khushbu,
     
    Thank you for your reference. However, as mentioned in point 3 of my initial post, I have already declared the "resourceExposurePolicy" and set both "allowDownloadingSource" and "includeSourceInSymbolFile" to false. While this disables downloading from the Extension Management page, I can still see the source code folder when I open the .app file using WinRAR.
    Additionally, when I do not declare "resourceExposurePolicy" as outlined in points 1 and 2, the results are inconsistent. For the extension in point 1, the source code folder is not visible when I open the .app file (which is the desired outcome). However, for the extension in point 2, the source code folder remains visible.
