Hiding method names in binary

I was reading at:

http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000098.php

"with the advent of Cocoa, it became impossible to hide the method names in
the compiled application binary, making it easier on hackers to find the
correct serial number checking function."

Is this still true? What does everyone here do about it - come up with bogus
method names?

Thanks,

Trygve
