i am using guided access to manage my ipads in the classes bui i had an issue is that when i lend the ipad to someone else and they walk away from the wifi it will obviously disconnect and they would not be able to log into another wifi network.
i would like to know if there is a solution or a way to manage the guided access to make the user to be able to connect to a different wifi network if needed without disabling the guided access feature
iPhone 5, iOS 6
Still have the issue as maroony describes. In our case we have clinicians across the US who are not technical yet have to engage our service desk who performs an MDM profile push to bump the device out of "Single App Mode", then hand-holds the clinical staff member in reconnecting the iPad to our Wi-Fi, then MDM push again to get it into "Single App Mode".
This means that it is very expensive when the iPad drops the Wi-Fi and cannot reconnect automatically
Now compound this by it happening across the nation in our enterprise. Now triple down on this because when it happens, it could disable the ability to perform a tele-stroke consolation which is **extremely** time critical.
This means that it is potentially dangerous when the iPad drops the Wi-Fi and cannot reconnect automatically
In short, reconnecting to the Wi-Fi if it is dropped by some chance, while in Guided Access aka Single App Mode aka Kiosk Mode is not just a nice to have... and the in and out hokey pokey of reconfiguration each time is not an option.
Time for a radar. ;-)
