There's no guarantee method. You can use oauth authentication... Depending upon what platform your using and how your deploying app to the phone, maybe perhaps you can compile your key into the application itself? Anything can & will always be cracked, there is no 100% security... But no shame in trying. :)

Personally what I use for my mobile apps is RESTful authentication with regular login/pass pair the token based communication till it expires. :)
