The aetherspark
The aetherspark is not supposed to be able to be attacked while equipped to a creature. Enemies still can attack it, but only with the tokens that are created by creatures with the “mobilize” ability. I’m on android, and this problem has been a recurring problem since I started using the aetherspark, over 3 weeks ago.

And this is NOT A BUG. Creatures entering attacking never attacked, so they get around attack restrictions and prohibitions. This goes for ALL such creatures not just mobilize tokens.
508.4. If a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, its controller chooses which defending player,
planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking as it
enters the battlefield (unless the effect that put it onto the battlefield specifies what it’s attacking).
Similarly, if an effect states that a creature is attacking, its controller chooses which defending
player, planeswalker a defending player controls, or battle a defending player protects it’s attacking
(unless the effect has already specified). Such creatures are “attacking” but, for the purposes of
trigger events and effects, they never “attacked.”
