We will be taking some state tests on our iPads with Pearson's TestNav app. It has been suggested that the iPads are locked into single app mode by "App requested single app mode". Once the app is launched it locks it into single app mode then when the user selects I'm finished and exit it will allow it to be released. The state says that this must be done with your MDM. I can't find any info on this except from the state. Does anyone know of anyone that is doing this?
I know we can use Casper Focus or many other ways to manually do this but to allow it to happen automatically when the app is launched would make life much easier for me.
http://www.cde.state.co.us/assessment/devicereadiness is one spot they mention it.
From that site:
Managing iPads for Secure Testing
There are several options for districts to manage multiple iPads for secure testing.
Manually configure iPads for single app mode via Guided Access (iOS 6 and above).
Enable/Disable single app mode with Apple Configurator via USB (iOS 6 and above).
Enable/Disable single app mode wirelessly via Apple Profile Manager or third party Mobile Device Manager (MDM) (iOS 6 and above).
Enable/Disable app requested single app mode via third party MDM (iOS 7 and above).
