Can't interact with element on iPadOS 26

durosity · Post by **durosity** » Sat Dec 06, 2025 6:02 am

I've got an issue with an iPad Air running iOS 26 (and also tested with 26.1) where on a control page you can tap an element, and if there's an animation specified for it on the settings it'll animate accordingly, but the action tied to said element (say run an action group) doesn't run. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, but no joy. This behaviour also persists when I run the iPad app on macOS 26.1 'Tahoe'.

It works fine on my iPhone running iOS 26.1, and my iPad Pros which are currently stuck at iOS 16.

Hi

Odd.

There is no reason why ipad air, would be different to any other device. Although seems also seeing it with OSX running Ipad version? That should be easy to test.

It may be a broader issue of not supporting “Run Action Group” as a button output. Not sure I have many of those in my usage, so may have slipped under radar.

However - if exactly the same page - works on iphone - that is somewhat more odd.

I’ll have a look

I suspect it's an iPadOS version related issue rather than iPad Air vs Pro.

I've done a bit more testing with it, it does seem to be specific to running an action group, as things like toggling on/off devices works, but interestingly one does work, which runs a script. Actually.. just occurred to me one of the ones that doesn't work runs a script too, so that rules that out.

If it does work on some - even odder

The basics here of the WebUI is pretty static across all OS versions as it is quite basic stuff - click - action etc. IpadAir issue this low level/basic would have been found I would guess, making it less likely is a specific Ipad Air issue

Would wonder whether something else here is happening on the page you are testing on?

Oh wait, I see a pattern! It's elements that are setup as refreshing Image URLs. If I assign that to an element any action associated with it doesn't show up on the Indigo log.

That would do it.

Refreshing URLs having an action - likely are not supported. (I can consider it - but probably not for a while)

This is mainly because we do something tricky with the refreshing URL, converting them to a iFrame and displaying live page within.

If haven’t used this yet - opens a world of possibilities.

Basically Refreshing URL - action - go to/open http (or similar wording) - enter the http page you wish displayed as a iFrame. On loading the page Kiosk Home ignores the static image - and immediately converts to the http element to a live in frame iframe page.

Allows - live cameras, BlueIris UI3 setup with touch control etc..

eg. here the example - the live youtube iframe is a refreshing URL in editor with details as above.

Hi

Have just tested this.

Seeing no issues with OS18, OS26.1 on Ipad Pro and all stimulators.

Refreshing URL - set to file:
file:////Users/indigohome/Pictures/Indigo-smartSolar/scheduler.png

Client action: None
Server Action: Execute Action Group: "Test AG"

On click.
Animates and action group runs.

If refreshing URL -> Client action is set to == Go to External URL == then this would fail.
As that creates iFrames using the external URL which can't be clicked.

Suspect that will be issue rather than a specific Ipad Air Web issue
