Hi Team,
We are AAER for Apple and have come across multiple request from customers of BYOD iOS devices that they want to block screenshot and screen sharing for specific work apps like outlook on BYOD iOS devices. Is there any specific App Config Plist for Outlook or .ipa file that will allow us to achieve this.
Thank you for the post. There is another threads discussing screenshots. There is an API for developer, however, I believe in MDM you can control and disable screen captures https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/privacypreferencespolicycontrol/services
Hope other developers provide more context on this and opinions as I can only provide you the link to the delegate to detect screenshots and the MDM settings.
There is an API that allows you to detect when a user is taking a screenshot. At that time, when the delegate is called, you can show any view you want, including a view that informs the user that a screenshot is not supported.
The API is available at: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/userdidtakescreenshotnotification

MDM: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/privacypreferencespolicycontrol/services
“ScreenCapture [PrivacyPreferencesPolicyControl.Services.Identity] Allows the application to capture (read) the contents of the system display. Access to the contents can’t be given in a profile; it can only be denied.”
While there are workflows about notifying other individuals that the content was screenshotted, preventing someone from taking a picture with another device or copying the content is unavoidable, unfortunately.
