Overview
The kiosk_mode package enables developers to implement Lock Task and Guided Access modes on Android and iOS devices, respectively. It allows apps to run in a restricted, single-app environment, preventing users from accessing other system features or switching between apps. This is ideal for public-facing applications such as digital signage, point-of-sale systems, or interactive kiosks. The plugin provides simple APIs to activate and deactivate kiosk mode programmatically. It integrates seamlessly with Flutter apps and supports both major mobile platforms.
