Any idea about how to do access control for Android devices from STF side? #255

I think there are many ways to do the access control from Android system side, such like adding Xposed module. Do you think there is any way to do the access control from STF side or by modifying the STF service APK?

We just want users to install his own APK and could only testing the APP he installed without getting all other information about the Android device. Thanks

Could be possible I suppose, but making it 100% foolproof is unlikely. Additionally, it would require root, which none of our other current functionality requires. So, it would only work on rootable ROMs.

To be honest it's kind of a niche feature, and I don't think we'll implement it any time soon. Most device providers don't have a need to hide information, all they care about is resetting the device after use.

If you'd really like to have that feature anyway, we may be able to implement and support it commercially.
