WebFrame 2.0.0 - iCloud Sync and Management Mode
Announcing WebFrame 2.0.0
We are pleased to introduce WebFrame Kiosk and WebFrame Pro Kiosk version 2.0.0. This version is a substantial update and introduces remote management capabilities in WebFrame Kiosk for the first time. It also adds a new remote management alternative to WebFrame Pro Kiosk, providing an alternative to costly MDM solution if you only need to manage WebFrame Pro settings. This is accomplished through the addition of iCloud Sync, which allows settings to be synchronized between all devices logged into the same iCloud account. We have also added a Management Mode to WebFrame, allowing a dedicated device to serve as a management console for all synchronized devices.
iCloud Sync
With iCloud Sync, you can remotely manage multiple devices without an expensive MDM solution, provided that all devices are logged into the same iCloud account. There are two methods for managing devices with iCloud Sync - Peer-to-peer management using the iOS Settings app, and settings push management using the new Management mode of WebFrame. In order to use iCloud Sync, your device must be signed into an iCloud account and iCloud Drive and WebFrame (or WebFrame Pro) should be enabled in settings.
iOS Settings > Apple ID > iCloud
WebFrame Management Mode
Managing WebFrame settings can be accomplished in two ways: Through the iOS Settings app (peer-to-peer management) by toggling the WebFrame “Sync to iCloud on Next Run” setting, or through the new Management Mode of WebFrame (push-management). Management Mode allows you to configure a device as a management console rather than as a kiosk. With this mode, you can manage settings for all device synced with the same iCloud account. Management Mode has a similar look-and-feel to iOS Settings, but since it’s running within WebFrame, settings are applied and synced immediately.
