SEB 3.4.1 for iOS allows to display the Config QR Code in its in-app settings and fixes issues with the Assessment (lockdown) Mode and browser WebView warning.

Also check out the current versions SEB 3.4.1 for macOS and SEB 3.8 for Windows.

New in SEB 3.4.1 for iOS:

• Added button to show Config QR Code in in-app Settings / Configuration.
• No longer using the modern AAC API with iOS older than 18.1, unless using the AAC Multi-App Mode on iPadOS 17.7.1 or iPadOS 18.1 and newer (on iPadOS 17.7.1 the option Settings / Security / Use Modern AAC API must explicitly be enabled).
• Fixed: Removal message for the classic WebView (UIWebView) was not displayed in some cases.
• This warning is displayed on top of browser tabs when settings require the classic WebView. You can disable this warning being displayed, but if you are the vendor of an assessment system which isn't yet compatible with the modern WebView, you need to update your integration now (use SEB Javascript API instead of HTTP header check for BEK/CK, see our documentation).

Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default:

• Implemented lock screen closed confirmation to SEB Server.

New in SEB 3.4:
When using the optional SEB Server, the new screen proctoring feature allows a live view and recordings for exam proctors of the screens of connected devices.

• Now running on iOS 18 without having to use special setting.
• Support for AAC Multi-App Mode starting iPadOS 18. This allows to use additional apps running alongside SEB in exams.
• You can add/edit which apps should be available in an exam session along with SEB in its in-app settings in the Additional Apps section.
• You need to enter the Bundle ID in the Identifier field. See this page to find out the Bundle ID of any iOS app.
• Removed support and settings for classic WebView (UIWebView), as it isn't fully supported anymore in iOS/iPadOS 18 and newer.
• Fixed a security issue with a shortcut.
• Fixed querying permissions for web applications to access microphone and camera.

Optional features, which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default:

• Added the optional feature Screen Proctoring (which requires to run your own instance of SEB Server and the SEB Screen Proctoring feature).
• Now generic exam systems are supported with SEB Server.
