What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.82
Fixed: The setup wizard stopped at its first page over a permission the device cannot give
- Version 2026.8.81 made Unrestricted battery, Display over other apps and Notifications required before Next on the wizard's first page. A tablet whose Android offers no screen for one of them (a LineageOS build on an Echo Show 8 was reported with no "Display over other apps" anywhere) was stranded on the Welcome page with no way into the app.
- The Kiosk Satellite Service needs none of these to run; they only decide how well it survives the screen being off. The check is gone: the group is now titled Recommended Service Permissions, its intro says they are optional, and Next always continues.
- A grant the device has no settings screen for is now detected as such and shown with the adb command that gives it instead of a Grant button, and it is never counted as missing. The same rows in the Kiosk Satellite Service settings page, the Permissions Manager and the remote admin follow suit.
Fixed: The remote admin blinked between the login form and the wizard on a freshly wiped device
- The service permissions card on the wizard's first page read its rows through the token-gated commands, and with no password set yet there was no token: the 401 logged the page out, the logout routed back into the wizard, the wizard rendered the card again, and round it went.
- While no password exists the device now answers two setup-only endpoints for exactly that card (its grant states, and the Grant buttons), and a stray 401 puts an already-running wizard back instead of rebuilding it.
