can you provide a sandboxed environment? he can't have access to any of my persistent Safari data (autofill/bookmarks/history/cookies/dbs/etc.), and any he creates should be wiped, probably on return to the lockscreen. all other forms of app switching (e.g. open a pdf url, then "open in" iBooks/goodReader/whatever) will need to be blocked as well. will also have to block the app tray, the notification center, pop-up/banner notifications, Siri, and possibly the phone. (could experiment with blocking badges and alerts but not sounds, since that only reveals the fact that an email/text/etc. was received, not any specific information about it.) might conceivably need to block all background app network traffic, tho i'm not sure if that's snoopable from inside safari.
basically os x guest mode
- conradev 15y agoThat would be the only issue with something like this. The number of system features is finite and they can be disabled each in their own respect, but partitioning a guest from a user's data in an arbitrary application would prove challenging.
