ScreenShield

ScreenShield is an iOS library that provides a simple way to protect your app's content from being captured or recorded by screenshots, screen recordings, or other screen capture methods. It works by adding a secure layer on top of your views, which prevents most screen capture mechanisms from recording the underlying content.

The library supports both UIKit and SwiftUI and can be used with ease in both. It also provides a way to start and stop listening for screen recordings, and can be customized to use different types of views

Example

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

Installation

CocoaPods

To install ScreenShield using CocoaPods, add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'ScreenShield'

Then, run pod install to install the library and its dependencies.

Swift Package Manager

To install ScreenShield using Swift Package Manager, add the following line to your Package.swift:

dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/JayantBadlani/ScreenShield", from: "0.1.0") ] Then, run swift package update to download the library and its dependencies.

Usage

To use ScreenShield in your iOS app, simply import the library and call its methods to protect your views and listen for screen recordings.

Here's an example of how to use the library with UIKit:

import UIKit
import ScreenShield

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    
    override func viewDidAppear() {
        super.viewDidAppear()
        
        // Protect ScreenShot
        ScreenShield.shared.protect(view: self.view)
        
        // Protect Screen-Recording
        ScreenShield.shared.protectFromScreenRecording()
    }
}

And here's an example of how to use the library with SwiftUI:

import SwiftUI
import ScreenShield

struct ContentView: View {
    
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, World!")
            .protectScreenshot() // Protect the view
            .onAppear {
                ScreenShield.shared.protectFromScreenRecording // Protect Screen-Recording
            }
    }
}

That's it! With just a few lines of code, you can protect your app's content and prevent it from being recorded or captured by unwanted screen capture mechanisms.

Note: Preventing screen capture in an iOS app can be challenging because it's not directly supported by the iOS operating system. In this library, we have customized our code and applied hacks / workarounds to achieve the desired result. The problem of a messed-up UI is known to occur at times. To resolve the layout issue, think about adding "ScreenShield" protection to your view after the UI finishes loading. Implementing "ScreenShield" protection in the viewDidAppear method can be effective in mitigating layout problems. It's important to note that this library is currently under development and hasn't undergone full testing. Contributions are greatly appreciated.
