An issue that prevented the app's homepage from loading as expected on devices running iOS/iPadOS 12.

11.1

Released on September 12, 2023, build number 13585

11.0

Released on April 14, 2023, build number 13284

New Features

Changed PDF sizing behavior to better support devices that are not permanently mounted in place. When viewed, PDFs will automatically be sized to fit the entire page into the view based on the current device orientation. This behavior can be customized in paid versions of the app.
Our PDF display library now supports a wider variety of link widgets and named actions, including NextPage, PrevPage, FirstPage, and LastPage as defined in the official Adobe PDF specification.

Changes & Improvements

Revised the layout of the app’s standard navigation bar with the PDF multi-page icon shifting to the left of the bar with other navigational elements.
Improved handling of Basic HTTP Authentication requests by a web server in certain scenarios.
A new URL parameter allows you to display a specific PDF using the native WebView PDF viewer instead of Kiosk Pro’s PDF library if preferred.

Fixed

PDFs displayed on darker backgrounds showed a single pixel, white outline on edges that did not fill the screen.
A crash that occurred when repeatedly highlighting text inside a Domain list setting view (like Allowed Domains, for example).

Supported Operating Systems

This update changes our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later.

With the release of Xcode 14 (the development environment for iOS/iPadOS apps), Apple ended support for compiling applications for iPads and iPhones with 32-bit processors. To allow our team to continue to develop Kiosk Pro in modern versions of Xcode and be able to fully support current and upcoming versions of iOS and iPadOS, we are removing support for these 32-bit devices. As all 64-bit iPads are currently eligible to update to iOS 12.5.6 or later, we are moving our deployment target to the next available breakpoint.

This means we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS. The previous version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.

10.4.3

Released on May 25, 2022, build number 12682

In some cases, error screens were not reloading when content was available again.

10.1

Released on October 4, 2021, build number 12041

New Features

'Support Contact' lets you provide information for other members of your team about who to contact if they have questions about your kiosk deployment. This setting also appears in the iOS/iPadOS settings for discoverability.
Made the 'Show Settings' setting viewable in iOS/iPadOS settings for troubleshooting purposes.

Changes & Enhancements

Improved text for some permission prompts.
Increased the page loading time limit from 30 to 120 seconds to reduce the frequency with which this error is shown.
Improved the zip library used for creating troubleshooting logs.

Fixed

Permission prompts generated by WebRTC content were appearing every time the app refreshed. Supported in iOS/iPadOS 15 or later.
On devices running iOS 9.3.5, displaying the Status Bar would cause the app to crash.

10.0.7

Released on June 29, 2021, build number 11780

Fixed

Crash when attempting to duplicate an empty list inside the app settings.
App was previously unable to automatically dismiss permission prompts shown when displaying sites using WebRTC.

10.0.6

Released on June 11, 2021, build number 11704

Fixed

In certain conditions, closing and re-opening the app would cause a blank screen to appear.

10.0.5

Released on June 7, 2021, build number 11697

Fixed

Issue displaying video files that were linked directly (without being embedded into an HTML file).

10.0.4

Released on June 1, 2021, build number 11597

Fixed

Completed a major reorganization of the app’s settings menus.
‘Clear Data on Relaunch’ will clear the iOS/iPadOS clipboard when turned On.

9.5.5

Released on April 27, 2020

Changes & Enhancements

Certain errors were resulting in blank screens, so we’ve added a generic error screen to display instead to be more clear when a problem occurs.

Fixed

Adding domains to a list in the app settings caused the app to crash.
After returning from a 'No Internet' error, the app would continue to refresh the page every 5 minutes.
In specific cases, the app interface would be blocked after closing a passcode alert.

9.5.4

Released on March 13, 2020

Changes & Enhancements

Prevented sharing images through a new share prompt introduced in iOS/iPadOS 13.

9.5.3

Released on March 4, 2020

New Features

Easily transfer your settings configuration to a paid version of Kiosk Pro with the 'Export Settings to Different Version' feature.

Changes & Enhancements

Included a preset 'Refresh Homepage' setting to be more transparent about the hourly refresh.
Moved the Troubleshooting category in Advanced Settings toward the bottom of the list.

Fixed

When 'Show Settings' was set to 'On Touch Gesture & Passcode' and 'Clear Data on Relaunch' was turned off, the app was refreshing to the homepage after it returned from the background.

9.5.1

Released on January 21, 2020

Changes & Enhancements

Apple has announced that they will no longer accept updates that include the UIWebView browser component as of December 2020. Kiosk Pro will continue to support UIWebView until that requirement is enforced. To prepare users, we’ve added an alert when changing the Browser Engine to UIWebView. An alert will also appear the next two times the app is launched in UIWebView. More information is available here.
Added the ability to clear blocked/failed logs, making it easier to troubleshoot these types of issues.
We improved the way JavaScript execution for page errors is handled. This helps prevent crashes in very specific cases.

Fixed

The 'Clear Data on Relaunch & Remote Update' setting was not working.
For our phone users, Kiosk Pro was launching the presentation in landscape orientation even when it was in portrait orientation.

9.5

Released on December 13, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

Removed the ability to control screen brightness and volume from within app settings. The hybrid approach we used previously where these values could be set and/or overridden by the system and/or Kiosk Pro was confusing for some users. Moving forward, Kiosk Pro will respect the existing system values for both to provide a more consistent experience for users.
Exposed two UIScrollView properties under Advanced settings so users with form views that scroll have full control over the options available to optimize the display of their specific content.

9.4.8

Released on November 20, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

Separated Kiosk Pro’s brightness settings from iOS/iPadOS brightness to help prevent linking problems and to give users more control over their devices.

9.4.7

Released on October 30, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

Added the 'Scroll Reset After Keyboard is Shown' setting to prevent the page from scrolling back to the top after selecting an input field and dismissing the on-screen keyboard.

9.4.4

Released on September 25, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

'Clear Data on Relaunch & Remote Update' applies when the app returns from the background.

Fixed

Sign-up for update email notifications was not working from in-app settings.

9.4.3

Released on September 13, 2019

Fixed

A few minor interface bugs.

9.4.2

Released on August 30, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

'Show Settings' applies when the app is relaunched from the background, as well as when the app is terminated and re-launched.

9.4.1

Released on August 20, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

Renamed 'Show Settings' options from 'On App Launch' to 'On App Launch or Relaunch from Background'. If selected, the settings menu will now show if the app is sent to the background and opened again, even without being terminated.

Fixed

Using the 'Larger Text' iOS Accessibility option would break the UI.

9.4

Released on August 9, 2019

New Features

Send troubleshooting logs to another iOS device or Mac with AirDrop.

Changes & Enhancements

When a page requires HTTP Basic Authentication, Kiosk Pro will temporarily save credentials to prevent multiple authentication requests. This data is cleared when the app is terminated.
A list of open source licenses we use are available from the Advanced Settings menu.

Fixed

Removed the Home indicator safe area at the bottom of the screen to allow full-screen content on 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro models. This fix also allows touch areas to be correctly aligned.
Some URLs missing a scheme were not being recognized correctly.

9.3.1

Released on June 21, 2019

Fixed

Data was not being cleared while 'Clear Data on Relaunch' was turned on.

9.3

Released on June 12, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

Removed 'UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend' flag to comply with upcoming changes in iPadOS 13. This change allows Kiosk Pro to continue running in the background when it is closed using the Home button, Home indicator, or four-finger pinch gesture. To terminate the app on an iPad running iOS 12 or later, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen to see recent apps, then swipe up on the Kiosk Pro preview.
Tapping a URL in the Blocked Request Log allows you to choose to add the full URL or just the URL’s domain to the Allowed Domains list.
We did a little late-spring cleaning:
- Renamed the Navigation category to 'Navigation Permissions' to help differentiate it from Navigation Bar settings.
- Renamed Timers category to 'Content Refresh' to make it more clear what these timers are for.

Fixed

Touch areas were misaligning on the 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro models. To fix this, we have temporarily reinstated the safe area for the Home indicator as we believe functionality is more important than the loss of space at the bottom of the screen. We are continuing to look for a solution that supports both and will revisit this as soon as we find one.
Browsing Time Limit was not resetting as expected when the Idle Time Limit executed.

9.2.1

Released on May 8, 2019

Fixed

Links with redirects that opened in new windows were blocked.

9.2

Released on April 25, 2019

Changes & Enhancements

We changed how Lite monitors internet access. Lite will only check for internet access while someone is interacting with the device, or when internet access is lost.
Removed the safe area for the Home Indicator on 12.9 and 11 inch iPad Pro 2018 models.
We’ve added an alert for the Show Settings feature to warn you if you choose “Never”.
Removed “Log All WebKit Requests”. These logs were huge so if accidentally left on, the app could crash. They were also only applicable to UIWebView and rarely helped us solve issues.

Fixed

URLs including ‘userinfo’ were being misunderstood.

Supported Operating Systems

In this update, we changed our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 9.3.5 or later. This allows our team to tighten our focus in supporting the app.

This means we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS. The previous 9.1.2 version will remain available to download on older devices that have previously purchased a license.

9.1.2

Released on February 14, 2019

Fixed

Pages were not loading as expected when navigating back from a PDF using WKWebView.

9.1.1

Released on February 8, 2019

9.0.7

Released on October 30, 2018

Changes & Enhancements

If Kiosk Pro detects the underlying WKWebView browser has crashed, the app will reload the browser.
Made our Privacy Policy available in-app and added the option to opt-out of automatic crash reporting to the app’s Advanced Settings menu.

9.0.5

Released on August 20, 2018

Fixed

Adjusting the iOS brightness was not changing the Kiosk Pro brightness setting.
Data was not clearing on relaunch when this setting was turned on.

9.0.3

Released on June 28, 2018

Fixed

Crash that occurred sometimes when an HTTPS:// security prompt was left open and the idle timer executed.

9.0.2

Released on June 22, 2018

Changes & Enhancements

As a kiosk app, app stability is our number one priority. To track potential causes of instability, our apps use Crashlytics to send our development team standard iOS crash logs when the app crashes. All users have the option to disable crash reporting under Advanced Settings and we’ve added a pop-up on launch for users in Europe, asking for permission to collect this information. We’ve also updated our privacy policy and terms, which describe in detail what information we collect and can be viewed on our website.
The ‘Need Help?’ button in the settings menu opens our knowledge base within the app instead of in Safari.

Fixed

Tapping a touch callout in a PDF shown in an iframe caused the app to crash. While touch callouts will still be shown in this circumstance (as we cannot find a valid way to block them), the app will no longer crash if they are selected.

9.0.1

Released on June 7, 2018

Fixed

Kiosk Pro was not interpreting URLs that contained certain symbols (like ‘@’) or unusual formatting correctly.

9.0

Released on May 30, 2018

Changes & Enhancements

Improved our algorithm that checks for and handles errors.
Changed 'Clear Cache on Relaunch' to 'Clear Data on Relaunch'. This setting will now clear cache, cookies, and session & local storage when the app is relaunched.
Moved Browser Engine settings to the Advanced menu.

Fixed

In UIWebView, when a PDF was embedded in an iframe, the page would automatically redirect to the PDF.
URL schemes for other apps were not opening as expected.

8.5

Released on October 24, 2017

Changes & Enhancements

iOS 11 introduced a drag and drop feature to allow moving data between apps. Since most use cases require the iPad to be locked down to Kiosk Pro, we’ve disabled this functionality as it could be confusing for users. If needed, it can be enabled again in our Basic, Plus or Enterprise versions under Advanced Settings.

Fixed

The app was ignoring the HTML viewport property 'user-scalable'.
The value of the screen.width property was returning incorrect dimensions on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

8.4

Released on September 13, 2017

New Features

Added Allowed Domains screening for asynchronous navigation requests, which are frequently used by complex web apps, including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Due to how iOS handles these requests, this screening occurs after page load, meaning that the page will display briefly. When Kiosk Pro sees the page and identifies it is not allowed, it will immediately navigate to the previous page and display a blocked request alert if configured to do so. This functionality can be disabled if preferred in Advanced Settings.

Changes & Enhancements

Updated our algorithms to prevent text selection inside an input on devices running iOS 11.
New graphic assets for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.
The app now automatically dismisses any blocked request alert shown after a few seconds.
Removed ‘Disable Tel: Links’ setting as it was incompatible with Apple’s latest revision of their App Review Guidelines.

Fixed

The status bar was displayed with the incorrect background color after returning to the settings menu using a touch gesture and passcode.
When a URL with an encoded ampersand character is set as the Homepage, the app will now automatically decode the ampersand to correctly display the page.

8.3

Released on June 26, 2017

Changes & Enhancements

Updated graphics used on the app’s native error screens.

Fixed

Audio continued to play after the Home icon was pressed during video playback.
When 'Enable Text Selection for Accessibility' was turned on and the iOS accessibility settings associated with Speak Selection enabled, the app was failing to show 'Speak...' as one of the options when text selected.

8.2

Released on April 17, 2017

Changes & Enhancements

Slightly increased the touch areas for icons in the navigation bar and updated icon graphics.
We now prevent tabbing through inputs when using an external keyboard and the UIWebView browser engine as this combination frequently causes app instability and crashing. If you want to support tabbing through form inputs, we recommend the use of the WKWebView browser engine.

Fixed

The app now automatically reloads the page if it is notified that the WKWebView browser component has crashed, which would previously have resulted in a blank screen.
The iOS touch callout menu (cut/copy/paste) was being shown in WKWebView on long-press of an image map.
When showing the address bar, Kiosk Pro was including entries for a behind-the-scenes process, ‘About:srcdoc’, that have now been removed.

8.1

Released on February 15, 2017

Changes

Added the ability to select which iOS browser engine is used to render content. By default, the app now uses WKWebView, which is faster and less likely to crash. To revert to the previous browser, select UIWebView.
Fixed a bug where using an input tag to connect to the device’s built-in camera would cause Kiosk Pro to crash.
Fixed a bug where the Idle Time Limit triggering when a video was full-screen would cause Kiosk Pro to crash.

8.0

Released on December 27, 2016

Changes

Fixed an issue where the volume slider in the app's settings menu displayed at the incorrect width.
Improved the progress messaging shown while sending troubleshooting logs.

7.9

Released on December 2, 2016

Changes

Fixed a bug where PDF’s were not displaying correctly in Lite.
Removed ‘Look Up’ and ‘Share’ from the text selection popup shown if ‘Text Selection for Accessibility’ is enabled to prevent visitors from leaving the app.
Text selection in the Address Bar, which was previously always allowed, now follows the Allow Text Selection for Accessibility setting.
Added the name of the app to the App Version setting.

7.8

Released on November 1, 2016

Changes

Added Crashlytics to gather more comprehensive crash reporting from more users.
For iPhone/iPod users, we moved the ‘Powered By’ tab above the Navigation Bar to uncover the navigation buttons.

7.7

Released on September 12, 2016

Changes

Blocked the native iOS Open/Copy/Share popup from appearing when a visitor long-pressed a link.

7.6

Released on August 5, 2016

Changes

Moved Timer Settings above Navigation Settings.

7.5

Released on July 1, 2016

Changes

Updated several category names for clarity in the settings menu.

7.4

Released on June 7, 2016

Changes

Found a workaround for several situations where the app was previously unable to idle time out to the Homepage while a video element was playing full-screen in the native iOS video player. This issue remains outstanding when accessing a video element from within an iframe. More detail on this here.

7.3

Released on May 10, 2016

Changes

Updated the Blocked Request Log to include requests for content shown inside iframes.

7.2

Released on March 29, 2016

Changes

Updated the app’s default error screens for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro and corrected a direction error with the Arabic translation on those screens.
Fixed an issue clearing the cache on relaunch of the app.

7.1

Released on February 24, 2016

Changes

Fixed an issue with transforming plain ‘#’ links when using Guided Access.
Replaced alerts in several areas of settings with a more permanent reminder.

Known Issue

Lite will not clear cache on relaunch even if the setting is enabled. This will be addressed in our next update, but as a temporary workaround, if you need to clear the cache, you can delete and reinstall the app as needed.

7.0

Released on February 2, 2016

Changes

Updated required iOS version to 8.3 to support certain app features.
Modified the touch gesture for getting back into the settings menu a little to make it easier for 12.9-inch iPad Pro users. While the previous four corner touch will continue to work, so will placing two fingers each on the right and left sides of the screen.
Made the settings menu always display in landscape orientation for iPhone/iPod.
Removed 'Enable Automatic Reload on Homepage'.

6.8.1

Released on November 9, 2015

Changes:

Added Failed Requests Log to Lite.
Added localization to Lite so the ‘Powered by Kiosk Pro’ tab and Blocked Request Alert will translate to different languages based on the language configured for your iPad in iOS settings.
Removed text from the bottom of the settings menu.
Made some aesthetic improvements.

6.8

Released on October 29, 2015

Changes:

Replaced local help text files with online Knowledge Base entries for each setting.
Added a Clear Cache on Relaunch toggle to the app’s Advanced Settings. By default, this setting is enabled and clears the cache when the app is relaunched.
Included a setting allowing easier access to the app’s Advanced Settings, located at the bottom of the settings menu. No more tricky touch gestures required.

6.7

Released on October 9, 2015

Changes:

Aligned setting names to improve readability.
Fixed a bug where the cache was not being cleared when the app was exited.

6.6

Released on August 17, 2015

Changes:

Added an advanced setting allowing you to toggle the link processing the app does to prevent iOS from showing ‘Guided Access is enabled.’ alerts whenever a link is touched while running Guided Access. By default, this link processing will remain on.
The alert shown when URLs are blocked due to a conflict with the Allowed and/or Restricted Domains lists is now shown when a request to launch another app is blocked as well. Renamed several settings to reflect this change.
Fixed a minor display issue.

6.5.1

Released on July 9, 2015

Changes:

Fixed bug introduced in the 6.5 update that interfered with page loading.

6.5

Released on July 8, 2015

Known Issues:

In the 6.5 update, we introduced a serious bug that can interfere with page loading. The bug appears to have been added as part of a different last-minute bug fix. The resulting empty page may be seen after the app is initially launched, following a page reload or after accessing app settings through a touch gesture and passcode. We sincerely apologize to any users who downloaded this update and are immediately submitting a patch to Apple with a request for expedited review.

Changes:

We’re moving from our UserVoice helpdesk system to Help Scout, which means that the previous ‘Need Help?’ widget will be transitioning to a link to our new knowledge base. While we’re planning for a seamless transition, if you see any problems, just let us know.

6.4

Released on June 20, 2015

Changes:

As we are constantly updating Kiosk Pro to work with new releases of iOS, it becomes more difficult to support the app on older iOS versions. Kiosk Pro is now only supported in iOS 6 & up.

6.3

Released on April 28, 2015

Changes:

‘Passcode is incorrect’ alert for opening the app settings menu with touch gesture and passcode is automatically dismissed after a few seconds.

Released on March 6, 2015

Changes:

Fixed a bug with the Idle Time Limit not functioning correctly in certain circumstances.
Fixed a bug with the Browsing Time Limit not triggering.
No longer transforming links inside frames due to display issues. Previously, all links were transformed so the Guided Access message would not be displayed (due to a bug in iOS 8). This means links inside frames will display the Guided Access message when selected.

6.0

Released on February 12, 2015

Changes:

Moved several settings from the ‘Display’ category that are interaction-based to a new category called ‘Interaction’.
Moved ‘Enable Reload on Homepage’ to temporary beta settings.

Changes:

Added a “Powered by Kiosk Pro” tab at the bottom of the screen to increase app visibility.
Made it easier to select a setting for editing by increasing the size of the touch area.
Updated the app to automatically pull and use the latest in user agent string technology, which should translate into more successful page requests by certain websites under the tree this year.
Added “Enable Drop-down Menus for iOS 8” for our users experiencing bugs with drop-down inputs.

5.4

Released on November 18, 2014

Changes:
