Display a view or splash screen before applicationDidEnterBackground (to avoid active view screenshot)

Question

I have confidential informations in my app, so I would like to hide them with a splash screen when the app is about to be moved to background.

I do run the app on iO

Answer 1

Had the same issue, essentially I was using applicationDidEnterBackground to show a UIWindow on top of the content, but in iOS8 it didn't work as it did in iOS7.

The solution I found was to create the UIWindow in applicationWillResignActive but make it hidden securityWindow.hidden = YES; and then in applicationDidEnterBackground all I would do would be to change securityWindow.hidden = NO.

This seems to work exactly as iOS7 obscuring the content when multi tasking without affecting the view when using NotificationCenter or ControlPanel.
