foreground priority vs. exit

Open cpunk opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

When the option foreground priority is set in Chatsecure, a symbol is displayed in the notifications bar. Even when you hit the exit-button, the symbol stays active and it is possible to login to your xmpp-account without typing a password for the app: the foreground priority violates the security settings.

Expected behaviour would be, that the app completely shuts down when hitting the exit-button.

Android 4.4.4 - Chatsecure v14.0.7-beta-2

'Shutdown & Lock' does not work. The account is logged out, but the app stays active and is still 'unlocked'.

I second this.

The bug breaks the 'client locking/local encryption' feature since one cannot lock running sessions via 'shutdown & lock'.

The only way to lock the app is to force stop it via the task manager - not very convenient and surely not something one can quickly do when needed.

For reference: I am running Android 4.4.4 on the Motorola MotoE. If needed, I'll gladly provide additional information.

Please fix this or temporarily disable the 'foregound priority' option for clients with local encryption switched on - this can really endanger users!
