Kiosk Pro Basic

May 20, 2024

NEW FEATURES • Added support for the Full Screen Web API, which is enabled by default. FIXED • Crashing caused by a bug in the Firebase library we use for crash reporting. (Ironic, no?)

May 15, 2024

NEW FEATURES • Added support for Apple’s native Web Inspector tools for devices running iOS/iPadOS 16.4 or later to allow users creating content for Kiosk Pro the ability to inspect page layout and styling, debug JavaScript requests, and more. CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS • If Dark Mode is enabled in system settings, the app will now display certain elements using that theme, including the on-screen keyboard, native JavaScript alerts, and text selection (if enabled). • New configuration options for settings exports add the ability to export Managed App Configuration files as PLIST for MDMs that prefer that format, export without commented header information and/or settings names, and automatically minimize file size. • Options to validate configuration files for Remote Settings Control and Managed App Configuration have been moved to Advanced Settings as exporting these files is now the recommended best practice, removing the need for validation. • Universal links now default to opening in Kiosk Pro’s web view – this behavior can be toggled to allow a universal link in an HTML page to open another native app if installed and supported. FIXED • PDFs created with a page rotation angle of 90 or 270 degrees were not displayed as expected. • Custom URL schemes without any additional parameters were not executing as expected. • The app’s progress indicator was not dismissed as expected when following a direct link to a video file. • When following a link from a PDF directly to an audio or video file, the PDF layer was not dismissed as expected.

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS • Revised permission prompts for system permissions to more clearly articulate why each permission is being requested.

October 18, 2023

FIXED • Progress indicator is now shown while downloading a PDF file prior to displaying it.

September 25, 2023

FIXED • A crash that could occur when accessing a setting value passed with the incorrect data type through a Remote Settings Control update.

September 14, 2023

FIXED • An issue that prevented the app’s homepage from loading as expected on devices running iOS 12.

September 12, 2023

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS • Clear Data on Relaunch & Remote Update has been moved from Advanced Settings to the Memory & Privacy section of main settings for visibility. • More user-friendly page titles are used when sharing a document using the iOS/iPadOS sharing menu. FIXED • An issue which prevented a PDF from loading as expected immediately after a server redirect.

May 9, 2023

FIXED • Locally stored files whose filenames contained spaces (or other special characters that would require encoding when used as a URL) in combination with uppercase letters were not being recognized by the app. A change in iOS/iPadOS 16 caused the app to automatically convert text strings (like our Homepage setting) to lowercase when encoding spaces and other special characters. As the local file system is case-sensitive on iOS/iPadOS, the app was then unable to match the text string to the actual file. • Complex URLs with specific combinations of special characters could not be processed by the app.

April 18, 2023

FIXED • The app was not loading content within iframes or certain recaptcha elements correctly.

April 14, 2023

NEW FEATURES • Reworked our PDF display library from the ground up to reintroduce support for Page Turn mode, which had previously been deprecated. Page Turn mode is significantly faster and more responsive and now works with the app’s Scroll Orientation and Size To Fit settings, which had previously only been supported in Scroll and Hyperlink Only modes. • Added new options for PDF sizing to better support devices that are not permanently mounted in place, including the ability to automatically fit the entire page into the view or zoom to fill the screen based on the current device orientation. This update changes the default behavior for the Size to Fit setting from ‘Vertically’ to ‘Automatically Show Full Screen’. • 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 • Added the option to show Quick Links on the standard navigation bar only while the homepage is displayed or on all pages, which continues to be the default behavior. • 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. • Added a new menu and user flow to streamline importing app settings from another device via AirDrop. • Improved handling of Basic HTTP Authentication requests by a web server in certain scenarios. • Our PDF display library now supports two new URL parameters for troubleshooting to allow you to increase the size of all link rectangles by a certain percentage and/or to highlight all links on a page. • A new URL parameter is now supported to display a specific PDF using the native WebView PDF viewer instead of Kiosk Pro’s PDF library if preferred. FIXED • The spacing of the home, previous & next icons was changing when Quick Links were enabled. • 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 As mentioned in our last update notes, this update changes our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later. While 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.
