    For quality assurance reasons, we’ve defined ‘within the app’ as ‘everything on the phone while our app is running in the background’.

      That’s not possible without a permission prompt (on both iOS and android). So there’s no changing the goalposts like you suggest, without the user giving explicit permission.

        It’s not possible at all, no permission exists that lets an Android app record something in another app. Much to the sadness of the mobile Hearthstone community that would love collection managers and stat tracking apps like what PC and Mac have.

          Yeah, it’s possible with something like Shizuku. scrcpy works via adb, so something similar could work on-device.

          It’s just not a part of Android’s standard permission system.

      The API for iOS screen recording is sandboxed to the app itself. There is currently no system-wide screen recording API for developers.

        iOS does have an API for apps to record the screen throughout the OS these days through Broadcast Extensions, but it has to be user-initiated through the control center screen recording toggle (where they then get to pick what app to record the screen to instead of just saving as a video), it wouldn’t do that people think the T-Mobile app is doing

          I see it now. Yes, broadcasting is available, but with the limitations you’ve specified. Thanks for the update/correction!
