Yeah, Obfuscation will help you reduce size, and it will also take away some of the "hints" that people have. But you can't get past renaming system functions, and it's easy enough to do analysis to find out what your methods are calling system wise, which allows someone easily enough to infer what they need to look at. (For example, you can find out what part of your code uses networking, telephony, etc...) And sure, if someone wants to figure out what your code is doing it's not too hard, the bytecode's all there.
