feat: A shared patch that removes all FLAG_SECURE references from an app

[bennett-sh]

Application

shared (all apps)

Issue

Currently, many apps like banking apps, browsers etc. block screenshotting. This can be really annoying sometimes when you just want to e.g. send someone a screenshot of your IBAN in your banking app.

Patch

I'm unsure but I think you'd have to a) remove all FLAG_SECURE's from the manifest and if it's possible, you'd also have to scan the bytecode for FLAG_SECURE and remove the lines.

Motivation

I already described my motivation in the Issue-field. It's that I want to be able to screenshot anything even though it may risk my personal security.

While it's probably not the solution you're looking for I suggest https://github.com/VarunS2002/Xposed-Disable-FLAG_SECURE as a temporary replacement.

I think most banking apps don’t work when they are modified because they have some checks in place.

I didn't have this issue, but the banking app I use isn't very demanding in terms of security (doesn't require hiding root and I even got it working without passing safetynet).

My bank is also really dumb about security so it would be worth a try.

I believe it can be closed now as pr 1455 is merged. ReVanced/revanced-patches-template#1522 can be closed too.

This issue is for all secure flags.

[pacjo]

Sorry, wasn't aware. How about ReVanced/revanced-patches-template#1522 ?
