Starting in MATLAB R2018b, you can use the MATLAB Compiler to deploy a web-app and achieve the obfuscation of your application like p-code would.

More information is available on this here:

If you actually wish to p-code the underlying MATLAB code for your application, please follow the steps below:

MATLAB R2018b and later:

1. Open the app in App Designer

2. Click the bottom of the 'Save' button to open a sub-menu

3. Select "Export to .m file"

4. Run the "pcode" function on the resulting M file.

Prior to MATLAB R2018b:

1. Open the app in App Designer

2. Switch to Code view

3. Copy the code into a new M file and save it.

4. Run the "pcode" function on the resulting M file.

Also, the MATLAB Compiler can automatically create P-code for you when packaging your M files.

See "mcc -j" or compiler.build ObfuscateArchive.
