I am making an app that allows the user to add captions to their photos. I'd like to be able to allow the user to save / share 3 of their creations, and after they share for the third time, shut down the app until they purchase more credits.
I'm trying to think of ways that the user can get around this to use my app for free all the time. The only way I can think that the user can save a photo manually is to do a screen shot, which I know how to detect so I'm not worried about. Is there anything else I'm not thinking of?
You can do it in an indirect way like the Snapchat app. Taking a screenshot interrupts any screen touches. See this for the solution.
You can trap the screen shot event and if they do create a screen shot you can delete it.
You can display some watermarks .
Remove watermark only after they buy it.
Here is a stackoverflow link to add watermarks

Does anyone know when the App Store started requiring the app previews to be on a physical device and show this pop-up?
Even when I mirror my iPhone Xs to my Mac, the pop-up does not show. If no pop-up on video, app store rejects app preview.
Anyone know of a better way to get around this issue?
Another image that shows issue:
This pop-up NEVER shows on screen recording or mirroring....
We have same problem. You have two options:
You can record the screen from another mobile or camera
You can use a previous iOS. We have checked that permission dialog can be screen recorded with iOS12
What was your solution?
Yes, has been steadily, over the past 3'ish years or so, working on removing certain system sensitive controls from being displayed in that feed. My guess it's for $SEKURITY reasons, though it doesn't completely make sense, to me, what would be the attack vector that it attempts to prevent.
The location dialog is not the only case I know that it hides. It originally started with them hiding even *** in the password text fields, and hiding the keyboard in such input, as well. Apparently it now expanded to location, and likely other system dialogs. 🤷♂️
Surprisingly few people seem to be discussing this.
I published an app last year (2021 / June) on 14.? which required the popup and it was accepted. Did this again with another app just after 15.? and I cannot get it past the apple store. Once they allowed me to post a video recording and I got it through, but since then ... no chance.
How are people getting their app through - I assume apple use the screen capture system to do their testing.
I had the same problem but my app was accepted.
Surely screen recording does not work, but screen capture does. I have embedded a screenshot of the permission dialog into a video and submitted it for app review.
I need my app to provide users to click multiple pictures. I want a layout with two separate buttons, one for clicking picture and another for saving the picture taken in the document's directory of filesystem. This screen will be presented and UIImagePickerController will be opened.
When user clicks first button, we will disable this button and show the picture obtained in an overlay. And show another button(this will be enabled now) to save this picture.
When user clicks another button, we will disable this button and save it in filesystem. After saving successfully, we will again enable the first button to take more pictures.
I have tried and implemented this app and it works perfectly at our end. But our some users report of app crashing when UIImagePickerOriginalImage key returned is nil.
This doesn't even happen to them frequently. Instead they face this crash after a long usage of app. However, we have tried of taking more 200 pictures and saving too. It didn't lead to any crash.
Please anyone suggest what might be the cause for this crash. Or any other better workaround to implement this functionality.
Just a quick question. Is it by any chance possible, that I can make an app control the users Home-button?
What I want to achieve is, that I want to ask the user if it is OK, that I add a functionality, when they click the Home-button 4 times. Is that even possible - even if the user accepts?
So with this new fingerprint thing you only need to tap the home button and hold your finger for a few moments to unlock your phone. I was wondering if there's an API that lets us make use of the "Tap" functionality.
i.e. Let's say in my app, when the user taps the home button, my app does xyz.
Also, would it be possible for my app to read these taps when the screen is locked?
NOTE: By tap I do not mean pressing the button, just a tap, like when we unlock the iPhone 5s with the fingerprint scan.
I'm completely new to iOS development. So referencing libraries with links etc and basic tutorials might make things a bit clearer for me.
Thanks.
Nope. This API does not exist. File a feature request at http://bugreport.apple.com. I can't imagine that this will get implemented though, given the possibility of abuse.
No there is no public API for the Touch ID sensor... yet. And there may never be one.
I am working on a research project that involves user interaction with an iPod. The application runs for approximately 10 hours, and I need to record the following information:
1) How many times was the screen touched?
2) For each touch, where was it touched? (Inside the button vs.outside)
3) What time was it touched? This would preferably be the time of day, but I can do back-calculations if this is not possible.
This information needs to be saved, and exported to a file that can be manipulated in Matlab, Igor, Excel,etc.
The application itself is very simple. A button in the middle of the screen flashes while playing a sound. When a touch event occurs inside the button, the flashing and sound stop for 30 seconds.
My questions is similar to this one from 2010 How to record all of the user's touches in iPhone app. The asker, however, did not provide the details for how he accomplished this, and I'm afraid I need a little more guidance than is given.
I'd be grateful for some advice, or if you could point me to the appropriate resources. I would especially appreciate it if you could also let me know the general area where the code should go. I'm still getting the hang of objective-C.
