Storing private secrets in your public client is easy to avoid for anyone halfway competent. We are all professionals here.
Turn on the secrets scan in GitLab, and put in your release checklist to have the AI audit the usage of secrets in your app, and this is basically guaranteed not to occur.
I doubt current models even make such a mistake in the first place, and particularly so if you use reviews at all.
WebViews are not an inherent problem, it's the system browser embedded in your app.
Where it gets tricky is if your use case involves authentication in the browser. Together with the authentication in your app this is the one area where you need to focus on security.
The case where a SDK update is needed to prevent weaknesses of the OS seems rather unlikely.
