Considering AppLock itself and all others are third party, including Sammys version. I don't think it should be OS integrated. The service would hook and constantly poll app launches. This also goes against the sandbox approach the OS has taken, as malware could use these hooks to launch itself or to monitor user input. As I voiced earlier, this should be fine on an app by app basis, but leave it up to the developer to implement as it would only be a single call at startup to check if pin is enabled and then prompt for it, same goes for notifications. Android is too lax on security when it comes to ipc and app isolation.
Not immediately seeing how an applock would be an obvious security threat. Maybe my idea of an applock is radically different lol.
Adding another XML attribute for an applock is trivial.
Would only take an extra call to determine if an app is locked.
Have a pin code similar to wallet in order to kick app out of suspend/open app.
I think it would be cool to have a little toggle in the corner of suspended apps to have them placed into a locked state.
Even files can be "locked". Let OS govern permissions and release an API similar to the one used for OneDrive/Facebook/Twitter/etc
I don't need applock, but I would not mind having the feature if it is thought out and implemented well
