How would you work around this issue if they give you a challenge? Ask for reimburse you for the time spent?
How do you detect when they are trying this?
Honestly I'd love it if someone did this

I'd just download the next version of their app off the store and save a copy of it, then decompile it to prove my code is there and sue the living shit out of them

I guess that's not an option if you write server code for them though.. I'd probably negotiate to be paid for the work in that case
