Both iOS (as of iOS 7) and Android have app switchers that display a screenshot of your app.
This is a lovely feature for most apps, but if your app displays sensitive information this is a possible privacy risk.
This plugin flags your app so that it doesn't show your users' sensitive data in the task switcher. It sets the FLAG_SECURE flag in Android (which also prevents manual screenshots from being taken) and hides the window in iOS.
*** this repository is fork from https://github.com/devgeeks/PrivacyScreenPlugin and not change anything for android part of code.
The original source code for IOS introduce black screen issue with iphone 5 and iphone 6, so source code for ios privacy screen from
https://github.com/lifeofcoding/cordova-blur-app-privacy-screen/blob/master/src/ios/BlurPrivacyScreen.m (with MIT license) is used.
For Cordova 3.x.x:
- To add this plugin just type:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-simpleprivacyscreenorphonegap local plugin add cordova-plugin-simpleprivacyscreen - To remove this plugin type:
cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-simpleprivacyscreenorphonegap local plugin remove cordova-plugin-simpleprivacyscreen
This plugin exposes no interface, it simply sets your app to be private. You don't need to do anything except install the plugin.
Test this plugin on a real device because the iOS simulator (7.1 at least) does a poor job hiding your app.
