The original title is a question about AI-built apps and safety. Let me rewrite it to be more specific and punchy while keeping key facts.

Short summary

AI can build working apps but often leaves security gaps invisible in previews: hardcoded API keys, hallucinated package names, outdated dependencies, and skipped input validation. Six practical checks cover secrets management, package verification, dependency scanning, security scanning, and hidden files. Non-developers can catch the worst risks by knowing what to look for before publishing.

• •Never leave real API keys in code — use environment variables or secrets sections
• •Verify AI-suggested packages exist on npmjs.com or pypi.org before installing
• •Run a security scanner and fix high-severity issues before publishing
