I would suggest you encrypt part of the server side stuff - maybe a header or signature - then transmit that encrypted part to your client app which can decode it. Have the client app then verify that the contents of the encrypted data are what is expected.

In this way you know the data is good and you know the key is good because you embed the key in your cleint app and only the cleint app knows what the key is. Maybe add a checksum too so that if someone changes the server-side data, the checksums won't match.
