Is there a way to disable screenshot in Xamarin Forms?

Question

I want my Xamarin Forms application to disable screenshots. Is there a way to do so? Note: I found solutions in pure Android and iOS versions, but I need Xamarin solution. If there is a way to embed pure Android and iOS solution in someway, I also accept that. Thanks :)

There is no 100% effective way to block user from taking screenshot/record.

You have some things you can do but none of them gives you the guarantee that the user didn't do that.

I will always need to implement this specific in Android and iOS.

See this and this for android. See this and this for iOs

You can disable screenshots adding this line on MainActivity.cs (Xamarin):

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
   ...
   ...
   Window.SetFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Secure, WindowManagerFlags.Secure);
}
