Canvas iOS App Configuration

[sdecook]

Has anyone found a way to configure the Canvas app with your schools site? One issue we see a lot of is our users entering in the wrong address when trying to access Canvas. I cannot find any information about configuring it from Canvas so I figured I would see if anyone else found out how.

Hi sdecook,

I too was wondering about this, so I asked the Canvas Customer Success representative about this a couple months ago, unfortunately the app does not have managed app configuration and even if it does there is nowhere in the Canvas document to let us know which key/value pair is required to pass to the app.

I would suggest to contact your Canvas Customer Success representative and ask them if this is the case and whether this will be added in their next update on in the near future.

Perhaps someone else who got this working for their school might be able to chime in (if I am wrong).

Thanks,

This worked for me in case anyone else is looking.

Yes here is what you need to put into the app configuration tab.

<dict>
<key>enableLogin</key>
<true/>
<key>host</key>
<string>institution url</string>
</dict>

Institution URL: enter your institution URL. For example, if your institution url is https://canvas.instructure.com, enter canvas.instructure.com
