After you confirm that mobile devices meet minimum system requirements for tablets, use the sections below to set up iPads in your testing environment.
You can set up TestNav on an iPad for secure testing using one of the following methods:
To enable single app mode on iPad using Apple Configurator, first back up the device to retain any data or applications. Then, turn on Supervised mode for your organization to wipe the device. You may restore the iPad after testing by placing the iPad in Supervised mode to put data and apps back on the device.

Administrators can use Mobile Device Manager (MDM) to push a profile to devices to wirelessly turn on/off single app mode. Profile Manager is Apple's MDM solution for Mac OS X. You can select the TestNav app from the Lock to App menu and push the profile to supervised devices. |
You can also use Autonomous Single App Mode (ASAM) mode (Lock to App) to set up iPad for secure testing. ASAM is the recommended solution for LEAs to manage single app mode because it reduces administrator workload. The ASAM feature requires BOTH a Supervised iPad (which you enable only from Apple Configurator) and an MDM (either Profile Manager or third-party). With ASAM, TestNav turns Guided Access on and off, as each testing scenario requires. Administrators do not need to push profiles to devices to turn on/off single app mode, but grant TestNav the ability to turn on Single App mode on-demand. |

After you install TestNav from the app store, it should automatically update. However, if your technology environment does not allow for automatic updates, you can manually update the application using one of the following methods:
If you cannot update with the above methods, manually remove the outdated version and install the latest version from the Apple App Store. |
