Need to hide battery/wifi status in single app mode on iPad

I am running a dozen iPads in single app mode. The App "Live OEE". I'm using Apple configurator to push a restore, and restrict it to single app mode.
Here's the problem, the first time it loads the app, everything works fine. But once the screen goes into auto lock, or is locked manually with the lock button, when it comes back up, the Wifi icon + ipad is on the left hand side and the battery status is on the right hand side at the top of the ipad screen. The text isn't really the problem, the problem is the wifi logo + the word "ipad" is blocking the "back" button in this app. I can't click the back button (easily, the VERY corner works like 20% of the time). This is a usage issue as the back button is pretty critical to the operation of the app.
Thanks,

Never mind. I found it it was due to a default setting in Quicksilver, which i just recently installed. This other question solved my problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10230913#10230913
I searched a while and couldn't find anything to match my problem on the forums. However, i wasn't sure what terms to use to describe my problem because they are all generic.

Single App Mode iOS 8 broken

Hi there
Noticing a problem with both Single App Mode and Guided Access Mode since iOS 8 upgrade, and not fixed by 8.0.2.
Every time a link is pressed within a web view or any external URL request, the notice "Guided Access Enabled, triple tap the home button to exit" pops up in the top bar. We have a tonne of iPad Minis out on shows with clients that are locked into one single app using one of the two methods - Guided Access / Single App.
This is a real problem since the notice is shows on every single external URL request or page load within a WebViewer.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a way of fixing it? Looking like the only fix is to jailbreak, downgrade to iOS 7 and use that - a much more stable iOS release!

Hi Ollie,
I've found a workaround thanks to Chris from Kiosk Pro App.
You need to transform all requests (only when Guided Access is on) with navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked" to navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther"
One issue with this workaround is that the Guided Access message still appears for links using types "Form Submitted" and "Form Resubmitted". Trying to transform these types could potentially cause an error with loading the page.
Here is an implementation by Blandine from Adaptive Channel :
In the method :
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
Just add :
if (UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled()) {
        if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
            navigationType = UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther;
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            return NO;
Hope it helps.

Single app mode in my IOS application

I want to implement Single app mode in my IOS application through coding. For this I am doing the following steps:-
1. I am supervising my device through apple configurator and using config profile generated by configurator itself.
2. I have selected the restriction payload to generate my profile because I want single app mode functionality.
3. According to apple documentation one key is added in Restriction payload that is “autonomousSingleAppModePermittedAppIDs” in IOS and later. But I am not able to find it anywhere to fill my bundle identifier. I have tried to add this key manually by editing the profile in text edit but this process invalidates my profile.
Here is the link reference:-
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProf ileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW13
Under Restrictions Payload section of the documentation.
4.I have tried to generate my profile with the help of iPCU(iPhone configuration utility) as well but did not find anything.
So please help me out what I am missing here or what else i need to do.
Thanks

Single app mode with VPP Token Managed Distribution apps?

For some reason, single app mode setting in Profile Manager will only pick up apps that have been purchased by the device/user Apple ID I.e. individuals personally purchased apps, it will not allow single app mode on pushed apps via VPP Token Managed distribution.
My questions are:
1) should it be possible to single app mode, after all MD is to help organisations 'manage' the devices? If so, what am I doing wrong?
2) is it ethical that I can see users 'personally' purchased apps when MDM allows for 'dual' managed devices
Any help would be most appreciated.

Full Screen Safari in Single App mode

I'm trying to configure some ipads for use as web kiosks. I can set Safari to single app mode and to only allow the one website we want used, but it still shows the bookmarks, share, new tab, and other buttons, along with the address bar, at the top. I also tried configuring a web clip for the site, and setting the web clip to full screen mode. That worked to get rid of the address bar etc, but if safari is in single app mode I can't launch the web clip, and if it's not in single app mode, the web clip works but other apps are also available.
How can I get Safari locked down to single app mode and showing the website in full screen only?
Thanks!

Profile Manager cannot set ibooks as single app mode in iOS

Right now I had updated all my iPad to iOS 8.0.2, and the server is updated to the newest version,too.
Sadly, When I want to setup the iPad to single app mode with iBooks, I cannot find it in the list.
Is this means ibooks is no long support on the single app mode? Then why give us the new function about push ibooks?
I have try the assistant function on my iPhone (8.0.2) itself, it can be locked in iBooks.
Any one can tell me what is the problem?
Many many thanks!

HI Hines,
I had the same problems after the 3.0.2 update: enrolling of devices not working, unable to push configurations from Profile Manager, etc.
The update was a simple 3.0.1 => 3.0.2 on already updated OSX Mavericks to 10.9.1 and it seemed that all was ok, not like this situation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24450438
Services used:
-Web
-Profile Manager with 20 iPads/iPhones already enrolled and with some in-house app pushed
I followed a solution similar to what suggested from Hines, apart from point #6. I was unable to re-download Server.app from App Store, greyed-out button.
So I was very happy to have another mac to download a fresh copy of Server.app.
Then:
-Deleted and thrashed the old version
-Message "all services stopped"
-Reboot
-Copied fresh "Server.app" to /Applications
-Started "Server.app" that made some initial auto configuration
-Services restarted
I just had to restart the postgres service and seems that I didn't lost any data/config (I hope, I'm already checking!)
=begin RANT
I know that Apple is essentially an hardware manufacter manly for consumer target now but that a simple minor update broke an entire software meant to be solid, like a server must be, is just plain unacceptable.
I know that OSX Server is very cheap and we can't pretend too much....but F**K...i loosed my sleep tonight!

Connection issues on Public Hotspot - Single App mode (MDM)

My iPad is connected permanently to a public hotspot. The connection sometimes is interrupted by a planned maintenance on the AP.
It happens from time to time that the iPad can't recover it's Wifi connection by itself.
Going to the settings> Wifi seems to be enough to reconnect.
Problem is that the device is working in An MDM Single App profile, and so the settings are not meant to be reachable.
Restarting the device is required to reconnect to the public AP.
I know that IOS sometimes turns down WIFI after a certain period of non-use, but in Single App, the iPad stays on, day and night.
It is running in IOS 7.1.
Is this a know issue?

anyone know how to set a correct task id?

Determining single app dimension on iPad

Hello,
iTunes tells me that my apps on iPad 2 use more than 7 GB of memory.
Actually, i can't think of an app on my iPad using so much memory. If I sum the dimensions of single apps in the App Window on iTunes I get no more than 2 GB. As far as documents are concerned, the only supsect I have is about a Newspaper App that could keep old issues in memory.
So far, dooes anyone know about an app that lists actual app dimensions on iPad 2 (including the app's documents)?
Thanks for your help.
Vittorio

Something you could do to maybe getter a better idea of how much space the apps are actually taking up would be to restart the iPad or try a hard reset. If you don't regularly restart, you could be getting an incorrect number on the app storage space.
To restart ....
To turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad.
To turn iPad on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
To reset ....
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
There are apps that will monitor system activity such as System Activity Monitor and System Info but i don't know if they will show each individual app's size. You can however do the math on your own which you stated you have already done.
Newspaper subscriptions can take up a great deal of space on the iPad, but most of the the space other than the app itself is accounted for in "other" on the iPad - I think. Other would also include app data from productivity apps, game saves and so on.

I need an external battery to use with my iPhone 4 and IPad for travel. Best brands?

I will be traveling abroad and want to extend use of my IPad and my IPhone. Any suggestions for battery power, brands, etc?
thanks!

I have a Zagg Sparq, it's a charger that's also a battery. I have the first gen but it'll charge an iPad almost full, and will get the iPhone a couple of times I think. You can use it to charge the device, but it's also a battery so you can simply plug your device into it and charge your device off line. www.zagg.com

I need to use IE Explorer for a business app on my ipad are there any apps?

I need an app so I can use IE Explorer on my ipad 2 for a business program. Does anybody know a soultion?

Browsers such as iCabMobile and Atomic allow you to choose how the device identifies itself to a website. IE is one of the options. However, if the reason you need IE is for something like ActiveX, it's not going to work.

Why am I stuck in single app mode after upgrading to Lion?

I completed the upgrade to Lion (10.7.1) painlessly on my Mac Pro, but now when I switch to any application, either by clicking or using Command-Tab, it acts as though I have selected "Hide Others" from the application menu and hides all other open applications. I can't find any way to turn off this behavior. It's driving me crazy because I have a 27" monitor and want to have my mail and IM client visible at all times. Has anyone seen this before?

Distributing a single app to 100 iPads.

I have a requirement to distribute one app to 100 devices used by one organization. These devices will not belong to a individual within the company, but will be used for a kiosk type display. What is the best way of going about this without having to set up 20 or 100 different apple id's.

For inhouse Apps this is not a problem with a proper Mobile Device Mgmt. For Apps from Apple App store may be the Volume Purchase Program is the solution http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
Only in the US available, yet.

I closed every single App at my Ipad but something is still working in the back. The sighn for the internet is alway spinning arround.

Can somebody help?

This is very basic, but did you restart/reset the device?

You download the app once per iTunes account and each account can install the app on up to 5 devices.
However, apps are for individual use, so if it's a company or a school (why else would you have 100 iPads?) , there will need to be one license/purchase for each device.
