The “Guided Access is Enabled" message appears with every HTML form submission in iOS 8

I have a website set as a "home screen" app and accessed via Guided Access. The site contains a form. A message will appear every time there is an HTML form submission: "Guided Access is Enabled. Triple-click the home button to exit." This message is unexpected because all the user has done is submit a form.

This seems to be a new UI bug with iOS 8. During test of the same app with iOS 7 we did not see this issue at all.

There are a couple of similar reports and I've filed a bug report with Apple, but I'm wondering if anyone has found a work-around to suppress the message?

Here are two simple pages if you want to try to reproduce this issue:

Solution

  • This seems to be fixed in iOS 9.
