Capacitor Privacy Screen Plugin

Introduction

⚡️ Capacitor plugin that protects your app from displaying a screenshot in Recents screen/App Switcher.

On Android, this plugin sets the FLAG_SECURE flag to treat the content of the window as secure, preventing it from appearing in screenshots or from being viewed on non-secure displays.
On iOS, this plugin hides the webview window when the app is no longer active and loses focus (UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification) so that a gray screen is shown instead.
