I need to prevent screen capture

I need to prevent screen capture by users of my app, for security reasons. The contents I display are confidential and should not be copied onto the device.

There is an isSceneCaptured property you can monitor.

  • Does seem to be a SwiftUI novelty. I can't seem to post YouTube links but Kavsoft has a video detailing how to achieve this. Google: "kavsoft prevent screenshot"

  • Now that you mention it, it would surprise me if SwiftUI had a trick UIKit couldn't do. I'm mostly UIkit too. So I did some searching and the video looks like it's actually a SwiftUI conversion of a UIKit trick. Which is posted here by orakull. It doesn't work as is. But if you look at the last comment by Richard de Bock, that change works.

This gets asked a lot, and the answer always amounts to: this is an unrealistic requirement and it’s impossible to implement a perfect solution.

Search the forum to find lots of old discussions. Here’s a thread with an especially clear and logical argument: link.
