Overall I would do it with a license. You can do lots of things that will
take a lot of time to do and will hide it from many people but none of
those methods will ever be perfect. No matter how much you obfuscate the
code it can be decoded regardless of the language being used. Overall if
you want to really keep your code safe then you can't give your code out.
So you would want to make an app server and just give the customer a
client to connect to the app server and that way noone could ever get the
code for the app.
