Hello! Would like to ask if you have deployed a Kiosk Type of App on a mobile device like iPad or Android tablet. We have this requirement to prohibit the user from accessing any other Apps from the tablet aside from the Apps that we deploy to the tablet. How can we make this setup possible? Thanks in advance for the response.
Regards,
Raymond
Hi Raymond,
The plugin Eduardo mentioned is one of several you can find on the cordova website to support "kiosk" mode in Android.
On iOS there is no equivalent, "kiosk" mode is achieved using features of the operating system itself. A quick search returned this recent post on how to set up a device in "kiosk" mode, on all major platforms.
Hello Raymond.
You need, probably, a plugin to do it. I don't know if there is something already in forge. If you don't find anything, you can create your own plugin using this, probably:

Cheers.
Thank you Eduardo and Jorge for the immediate response.
I have recently read a kiosk mode type blog where it explains how this app block access to apps and website on every OS platform.
Here is the blog: what is kiosk mode
To make a kiosk type of app, you can use a POS software solution that offers kiosk mode. This will allow you to lock the app down to a specific set of features and functions, making it ideal for self-service applications. Some popular POS software solutions with kiosk mode include Esper, Hexnode UEM, and ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus.
