About Kiosk Pro Plus
Kiosk Pro is a flexible solution for any project that makes an iPad available to visitors.
As a specialized web browser, Kiosk Pro Plus can display web pages, documents or audio & video files. Show content that’s hosted online or stored locally on the device.
Kiosk Pro Plus builds on the functionality included in our Basic version, adding a screensaver loop, a schedule for when the kiosk is available for use, and the ability to update locally stored files from a remote server or Dropbox account.
ATTRACT VISITORS
• Define a homepage as the starting place for the presentation.
• Set an idle timer so that when a visitor walks away, the next person will have a fresh experience, starting right at the beginning.
• Increase visitor turnover at your kiosk by setting a browsing time limit.
• Clear the cache and/or cookies to secure personal information.
• Display a screensaver loop using local images and/or videos.
LIMIT NAVIGATION
• Specify what’s off limits on the web by creating lists of allowed & restricted domains.
• Block access to other apps, including the native email or phone, that could otherwise be opened through links.
• Disable touch interaction when used for digital signage.
• Autofill username & password for specific URLs.
CONTROL THE DISPLAY
• Hide status, address, and/or navigation bars to make your content look like a native app.
• Allow windows to open in multiple tabs.
• Customize the navigation with your own color scheme and bookmarked links.
• Works in any language - add your own translated text for on-screen alerts and navigation.
WORKS OFFLINE
• Store content locally for offline viewing.
• Shift between online and offline content automatically if your device drops its internet connection.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT
• Update your app settings or content files by uploading them onto your own servers or by syncing with your Dropbox account.
• Set up email alerts for power loss, remote updates, or motion detection.
• Have your kiosks check in with regular heartbeats and monitor all your kiosks from a single location through our cloud-based Remote Management Server.
MANAGE AVAILABILITY & POWER USE
• Create a schedule to control when the kiosk is available for use.
• Control the screen brightness from inside the app settings or dim to minimum brightness while idle.
USE ADVANCED FUNCTIONS WITH OUR JAVASCRIPT API
• Access the iPad’s camera for capturing photos and videos.
• Save visitor form data locally on the device and collect signatures.
Support is built right into our apps with documentation of every feature and direct access to our extensive Knowledge Base.
Kiosk Pro Plus is compatible with most web content, including HTML web pages, PDFs, and multimedia (including .mp4 video). While certain Powerpoint, Keynote, and Word files are also supported, they are displayed as static documents. Kiosk Pro Plus cannot display pop-ups, other apps, or Flash-based content.
To prevent visitors from exiting Kiosk Pro Plus, you must enable Guided Access in the iPad settings or use Apple’s Configurator app to supervise the iPad into Single App Mode.
Our professional kiosk enclosures secure your iPad from theft or damage. See KioskGroup.com for more details!

Sep 12, 2023
NEW FEATURES
• A new setting, Clear Data at End of Night Mode Session, has been added to allow clearing of all data on a regular schedule.
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• We’ve loosened type matching for Managed App Configuration to better support MDMs that only allow passing custom variables as string-type values. If Kiosk Pro can match a string that is passed to a possible value, that value will be applied regardless of the value type defined – for example, passing the strings ‘true’ or ‘1’ to a setting that uses a boolean value type will be successfully matched. This makes customizing the app’s settings for a specific device or group of devices much more flexible.
• 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.
• A bug that prevented the screen from rotating automatically when shifting between options in the Screen Orientation Lock setting.
• A new setting, Clear Data at End of Night Mode Session, has been added to allow clearing of all data on a regular schedule.

11.0.3
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.

11.0
Apr 14, 2023
NEW FEATURES
• Added new options for the Idle Time Reset Alert, including the ability to control how long the alert is displayed and the ability to trigger an audible tone of your choice when the alert is triggered in case a visitor is looking away from the screen.
• 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.
• The app’s standard navigation bar can now be shown at the top of the screen if preferred to prevent accidental activation during handheld use. Shifting the bar to the top of the screen will automatically reverse the layout of app icons.
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 (previous/next). This eliminates the movement of other icons when the PDF multipage and/or print icons are shown or hidden depending on the content being shown.
• 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
• Custom CSS files containing single quotes were not applied as expected.
• 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.
• Activation Mode would not reset as expected on idle time out if a visitor tapped on the Home icon during their session.
• 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.
• Added new options for the Idle Time Reset Alert, including the ability to control how long the alert is displayed and the ability to trigger an audible tone of your choice when the alert is triggered in case a visitor is looking away from the screen.

10.5
Jan 17, 2023
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Change to server endpoint used for communications with the Remote Management Server.
FIXED
• A bug introduced when we added support for Center Stage causing the app to request microphone permissions when using our JavaScript API to capture photos. This permission is now only requested when capturing video.
• Screen brightness was not being reset correctly in certain scenarios involving Night Mode in combination with the Reduce Screen Brightness feature.
• When Display Black Background was enabled & Night Mode was interrupted, the app sometimes displayed a white screen instead of loading PDF content.
• Incorrect navigation to next/previous browser history item in certain circumstances when displaying PDFs or image galleries.
• Crash occurring on devices running iOS 9 when testing a Remote Settings Control XML file for errors.
• Crash occurring on devices running iOS 9 when attempting to play video as a part of the Screensaver.
SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
In the next update, we will be changing 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) this fall, 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. This 10.5 version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.

Oh hey, it's me, Kiosk Pro! Yeah, I look a little different. My company's brand changed awhile back, and I figured it was about time that I updated my icon to match. Don't worry, I can still do all the same great stuff as before. Anyway, here's what else is new:
NEW FEATURES
• Added support for multiple folders to the Screensaver feature through use of an XML configuration file. This is designed to make the Screensaver easier to use with large image sets or in scenarios where some images and/or videos are specific to one or more kiosks while others are shared across a full deployment.
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Updated our default XML format for Remote Settings Control to meet current best practices, which means the resulting files will be easier to understand and construct as well as more succinct, reducing overall file size. PLEASE NOTE: The legacy format will continue to be supported in new versions of the app moving forward, but the new format is not backwards compatible with versions of Kiosk Pro prior to 10.4. If you are exporting an XML configuration from version 10.4 or later, but you have kiosks in the field on older versions of the app, you will need to open the app’s Advanced Settings and toggle ‘Export Remote Settings XML in Legacy Format’ ON prior to exporting.
• Configuration files exported from the app for Remote Settings Control and Managed App Configuration will match the order of the settings menu and include commented setting names for easier search.
• If ‘Passcode to Exit ASAM’ is configured, Autonomous Single App Mode can be exited using a touch gesture & passcode, regardless of what Show Settings is set to. This is useful for deployments where access to iOS/iPadOS settings may be required on location (for example to configure or troubleshoot WiFi settings), but access to app settings must be limited to remote admins.
• When a Night Mode session is interrupted via touch, the app will no longer refresh, making interaction with the content immediately available.
• If content is missing when trying to use the Image Gallery feature, a “File Not Found” error will be displayed instead of the generic error screen.
• Events in the Failed Request Log will automatically clear after 30 days to help prevent memory buildup.
FIXED
• JavaScript requests to open certain blob or data URLs were being ignored.
• After trying to reload a File Not Found error for a few minutes, the app would display a blank screen.

10.3.1
Mar 16, 2022
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Added an XML-only setting that allows you to delay loading content when the app is launched. This setting is specifically for users remotely restarting devices in Single App Mode or Autonomous Single App Mode to allow the iPad time to negotiate a WiFi and/or a cellular connection prior to attempting to load content, which could otherwise result in a ‘No Internet’ error.
• Improved how the ‘Remote Settings Control’ feature parses XML files.
• Made it possible to use all ‘Show Settings’ options with Autonomous Single App Mode.
• Improved when Autonomous Single App Mode status alerts are shown.
FIXED
• When using ‘Allow Multiple Tabs’, the app would refresh to the homepage when a new tab was opened through a ‘window.open()’ command with a blank URL path.
• The app would crash if the ‘Homepage’ setting was empty and ‘Ensure Cookies Are Loaded on Homepage’ was turned on.

10.3
Feb 7, 2022
NEW FEATURES
• Added support for Center Stage video, allowing the front-facing iPad camera to follow a person’s face while recording.
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Improved the way the Remote Settings Control feature checks the filepath for XML files when updating settings.
FIXED
• Websites redirecting from “http” to “https” schemes could result in a blank screen.
• In some cases, error screens were not reloading when content was available again.
• If the app was launched in Single App Mode and online content tried loading before WiFi was connected, a blank screen was shown. If ‘Show Progress Indicator’ was turned on in this case, the indicator would also never be dismissed.
• In some cases when ‘Ensure Cookies Are Loaded on Homepage’ was turned on and an error screen was shown, an additional entry was being added to the navigation history.
• Links to local content with spaces in the file/folder name were being ignored.
• In rare cases, the ‘Disable Touch Callouts’ setting was preventing user content from performing as expected.

NEW FEATURES
• Set the Unique iPad ID through our JavaScript API.
CHANGES & ENHANCEMENTS
• The settings in an exported .xml file will be in the same order as the settings menu, making it easier to find what you need.
• Updated Autonomous Single App Mode so that it can still be manually locked from within the app settings when set to lock automatically on app launch.
• Changed behavior of ‘Show Keyboard Automatically On Focus Event’ to activate the WebView, allowing specific types of content to automatically play as well as automatic input focus. Renamed to ‘Allow Automatic Focus’.
• Improved how settings files and troubleshooting logs can be exported and transferred to another device.
FIXED
• A blank screen was briefly displayed when launching from the settings menu into the Screensaver.
• Remote Update of Local Files sometimes failed when the flag to clear previous content was set to false.
• A crash occurred in certain cases when updating local files using Remote Update of Local Files.

10.0.3
May 17, 2021
CHANGES & ENHANCEMENTS
• Third-party cookies can now be loaded when using WKWebView as the Browser Engine on iOS/iPadOS 14.0 and later. This does require attempting to trigger a third-party cookie within the app, then going to the iOS/iPadOS system settings for the app and enabling third-party cookie support. More detail is available in our knowledgebase.
• It is now possible to link from one page in a locally-stored PDF to another using the link format ‘test.pdf?page=#’.
• The ‘kiosk://newTab’ command adds support for URLs with query parameters and other fragments. It can also now be used in combination with the ‘kiosk-igallery://’ command to open an image gallery in a new tab.
FIXED
• Crash that occurred when opening a PDF in a new tab.
• Crash that occurred when attempting to load a URL containing invalid characters.
• Changes to the contents of the address bar while loading a PDF or locally stored file resulted in a flashing visual effect.
• Specific instances where the Failed Request Log could display an incorrect Referring URL for a failed request.
• When opening Kiosk Pro using a custom URL scheme, the ‘startWithURL’ parameter was not working as expected.
• When using Dropbox Sync, Kiosk Pro was waiting approximately a minute after being relaunched from the background to check for updates to content. If an idle timer is not active or if the app is set to apply updates immediately, the app will now start checking 3 seconds after returning to the kiosk presentation from a background state.
• Event logging for the Remote Management Server was not triggering an event when accelerometer motion stopped, which also prevented it from sending additional motion detected events.
