Password on apps.
-
Hi, I just want to know how can I know when some app opens by user. For example, in while(True) check opening app photo and ask password when the photos open.
Sorry for my bad English. -
That's not possible. iOS apps are very strictly sandboxed - one app cannot see what other apps are opened, or block the user from opening an app.

But there are a lot of apps in App Store, that set password on app, how they work? Or it is possible only on Swift/obj C ?
-
Yes, many apps have a password protection feature, but that only works for the app itself. There's nothing special about that, the password screen is written like any other part of the app, except that it doesn't let you do anything before you enter the correct password.
However, if I understood you correctly, you want to use Pythonista to add a password protection to the iOS Photos app. That is not possible with Pythonista (or any other app), because there's no way for Pythonista to know when someone is trying to open the Photos app.

No, there are a lot of apps, that can set password not for itself, search photo password in AppStore. Idk how they do that.
For example : https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/пароль-на-приложения/id492342639?mt=8
UPD: I only now see (on screens) that example and other apps not set password on photo, only delete photos from standard app and move it to own with password. I think the other do the same, sorry me.
