### NOTE: This plugin is NOT being actively maintained. I no longer work on Cordova/PhoneGap plugins and it is essentially abandonware. Please feel free to fork it and update it if you need to.

PrivacyScreenPlugin
==================

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](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/WindowManager.LayoutParams.html#FLAG_SECURE) flag in Android (which also prevents manual screenshots from being taken) and hides the window in iOS.

On iOS this plugin will try to show your splashscreen in the app switcher. It will search for splashscreens prefixed by `Default` or the value of the key `UILaunchImageFile` in your .plist file.
If it fails to find a splashscreen for a specific device or orientation (portrait or landscape), a black screen is shown instead.

Installation
------------

For Cordova 3.x.x:

1. To add this plugin just type: `cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-privacyscreen` or `phonegap local plugin add cordova-plugin-privacyscreen`
2. To remove this plugin type: `cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-privacyscreen` or `phonegap local plugin remove cordova-plugin-privacyscreen`

Usage:
------

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.
