Safe Exam Browser 3.2.3 for iOS released

SEB 3.3.3 is now available in the App Store. This update fixes a security and some UI issues when running on iPadOS/iOS 17.

  • Removed the Autofill Contacts/Passwords context menu item in text fields on iOS 17.
  • Also removed the "Share..." context menu item (which is anyways blocked by the AAC Assessment Mode). Note that the "Translate" context menu item cannot be removed currently (not covered by API, but also blocked by AAC).
  • Fixed wrong browser toolbar height in iPhone landscape mode on iOS 17 and after rotating an iPad with iPadOS 17.
  • Fixed Search text icon had a text field background color on iOS 16/17.
  • Display deprecation warning when classic WebView is used.
  • Added setting in Browser Features pane to disable deprecation warning when classic WebView is used (key: browserWindowWebViewClassicHideDeprecationNote).
  • Now using an alternative method to add the SEB User Agent string in HTTP Headers with classic WebView. This avoids compatibility issues when an assessment system with SEB integration doesn't yet support the modern WebView (doesn't use the SEB Javascript API to query ConfigKey/BrowserExamKey).
    This fix nevertheless is no reason to delay implementing support for the modern WebView in SEB integrations. Any iOS update may break support for the classic WebView (UIWebView) finally!
  • Added new setting in Browser Features pane to reload the full page after a connection error (instead of loading the failed URL), key: browserConnectionErrorReload. This is a workaround for some LMS/assessment system issues e.g. in Moodle.
  • Fixed: When using the optional SEB Server, locking the client didn't work.
  • Fixed crash when scaling already scaled dynamic font in lock and About SEB screens.
  • Fixed German localization in in-app-settings.

See release notes for all changes.
