# Legacy Web Clip App Portal for Older iOS and iPadOS Devices

## What this workaround provides

An older iOS or iPadOS device that cannot install the current FileWave Kiosk app can open the legacy web App Portal through a Web Clip.

## When to use it

Use this only as a temporary access path while an older device remains in service. The Web Clip does not make an unsupported operating system or device supported by FileWave.

## Create the Web Clip

The Web Clip opens the legacy App Portal for the specific device by using its FileWave device ID in the URL.

1. Create a new Apple profile with a **Web Clip** payload in FileWave Central or FileWave Anywhere.

2. Enter `https://fqdn:20443/ios/recommended_apps/%device_id%#apps` in the URL field, replacing `fqdn` with the FileWave Server's DNS name. Keep the `%device_id%` placeholder unchanged.
3. Deploy profile to desired device(s).
