Removing the PIN Screen

You can disable and remove the PIN screen by making a minor code modification to the CustomizationHelper.m file.

Note: If you have previously used the Hybrid Web Container with a password on a particular device, you will no longer be able to access the encrypted database, or any data stored there, and the application may not work correctly if you remove the PIN screen. In this case, uninstall the Hybrid Web Container from the device before using the Hybrid Web Container without a PIN screen. For a simulator, click Reset Content and Settings first.
Note: Removing the PIN screen leaves data that is stored on the device less secure. You should remove the PIN screen only if you are not concerned about keeping your data secure.

All code areas associated with removing the PIN screen are annotated with IOS_CUSTOMIZATION_POINT_PIN.

  1. In Xcode Project Navigator, open the CustomizationHelper.m file, which is located in WorkFlow\Classes.
  2. Find the usePIN function and change it to return NO instead of YES.
  3. Save the file.
  4. Rebuild the project.
