What's New in SnapKiosk
1.1
May 21, 2026
This release focuses on resilience and fleet visibility. • When the homepage can't load — bad network, expired SSL, renderer crash — the kiosk now shows a clear error screen with a Retry button instead of a blank page, and auto-retries in the background. • New Settings → Diagnostics captures crashes and hangs via MetricKit, so admins can review on-device or pull diagnostics.json over MDM. • New Settings → Raw MDM payload inspector shows exactly what your MDM delivered — invaluable for debugging Intune / Jamf / Mosyle deployments. • Lockscreen branding fields (title, subtitle, logo, colors) now visible read-only in Settings when MDM-managed. • Attract and error screens auto-contrast text against any background color you push. • Last-loaded-URL beacon written to UserDefaults so MDM tools can monitor fleet state. • "Still there?" countdown ring now honors your configured warning window instead of clamping at 30 seconds.
