How to Screen Record Restricted Apps on Android: Fix Black Screen

Some of the apps do not allow you to capture a screen or record the activity on the app. If you try recording the screen and open some restricted app, then the video outcome of the said portion will be Blocked. This is mostly due to security and privacy reasons. But mostly, this restriction is implemented to avoid piracy. As there are a number of OTT Apps available online, users can record the screen and distribute the content.

Note: Recording Screen on the Restricted App is not a Good practice. I believe you are using the method below for personal use only. I am not liable for any damage caused.

Methods to Screen Record Apps Without Black Screen Issue

Method 1. Using App Cloner Application

You can use the App Cloner app to create a clone of an app with customized settings that can help you record screens without a black screen issue.

Note: Make sure the app is not an APKs bundle but a single standalone APK version of the app. If it is APKs bundle than download the single APK standalone version from the Web.

1. Download App Cloner APK and install it on your Android.

2. Open the application and select the app that you wish to clone for screen recording on your Android.
   
3. Here change the app name or app icon color. This will help differentiate the cloned app from the original.
   

   

   

   
   
4. Now scroll down and click on Display options and enable the Allow Screenshot toggle.
   

   

   

   
   
5. Move back and click on Cloning options and enable Skip library.
   

   

   

   
   
6. Now click on the right-tick option to grant permissions and create the clone.
   

   

   

   

   

   
   
7. Once the Cloned app is created, Install the app and (Enable Unknown Sources).
   

   

   

   

   
   
8. Once the cloned app is successfully installed, you can record restricted screens without black screen issue on Android mobile.

If the cloned app you created forces close or crashes, you have to enable other options under Cloning options, (try different combinations); namely, local activities, local broadcasts, and services ignore crashes and check if these options help rectify the cloner app issues.
