I saw the price of some of this kiosk apps above… OMG??
Hype Kiosk
Any way I thought I would give it ago and make one using Xcode etc…
Now I am not a fantastic Programmer and I know I probably do things arse end backward, so here is the source code in the form of the full Xcode Project, A copy of the App and also a template of the Hype Project that I used.
( This is all a hack together)
What I would love is for you guys to test it and help improve it for all of us. I have never really setup a collaboration like this before so some help would be good there also.
I know I am probably going to be embarrassed when and if you look at this…
But it would be great if you guys helped and adopted this project as a Hype Kiosk
The App so far:
Opens in Fullscreen, disables: NSApplicationPresentationHideMenuBar +NSApplicationPresentationHideDock + NSApplicationPresentationDisableHideApplication + NSApplicationPresentationDisableProcessSwitching
To quit the app you need to use a password.
The Password is entered in a popover, which at some point could be changed to offer more options.
I could not find away to block exit fullscreen when the escape key is used, so I used NSWindow delegates to force it back into fullscreen.
The App uses a WKWebView instead of a Webview. This is added Programmatically and more importantly HTML5 LocalStorage just works without any coding or hacks.
Any how here it all is.

(To Launch the built app above for the first time, as it is unsigned you will need to crtl click and open.
*Building directly from the Xcode project should not be produce this problem)
