If your API key does become compromised then getting a new key out to your users is never easy. It’s either going to cost you money for these stolen API calls, or worse still, create frustration for your existing users if your API suddenly stops working because the provider stops your access when it spots the increased activity. Obviously if you’re being charged for access to the API data then you don’t want someone to decompile your APK, find your API key, and then start using it in their own apps. Now there are lots of reasons why you might want to keep your API key safe.
