iPad Kiosks 10th Gen
I’ve been running a configuration for our 9th-gen iPads (the ones with the physical Home button) that locks them down to a single app. Users can’t perform gestures, can’t touch anything outside the app, and the Home button basically just wakes the screen. It’s super locked down, exactly how we need it.
Recently, we upgraded a few devices to the 10th-gen iPads, which don’t have a Home button. That’s where the problem started. Using the exact same config, the 10th-gen models won’t let you swipe up at all—so there's no way to wake the device or mimic the old Home-button behavior.
I’ve now split them into separate device groups, but I’m looking for guidance on how to properly configure the 10th-gen models so they at least allow the equivalent action of pressing the Home button, without opening up the devices too much.
Anyone run into this or know the best way to handle kiosk mode between these two generations?
