Put Flashdrop on every iPad

Flashdrop is a web app, so there's nothing to install from the App Store. You push a home screen icon (a "Web Clip") to your iPads with your device management (MDM) system, and students open it like any other app. This takes about 10 minutes.

1. Allow these sites on your network and content filter

• www.flashdropai.com and flashdropai.com: the app.
• jtcesqsyhgicvibhhjru.supabase.co: sign-in, saving notes and uploading photos.
• accounts.google.com: signing in with school Google accounts.

2. Create a Web Clip in your MDM

Use these settings in any MDM:

• Label: Flashdrop
• URL: https://www.flashdropai.com/
• Icon: https://www.flashdropai.com/apple-icon.png (180 × 180)
• Full screen: on (recommended, so it opens like an app). Removable: your choice.

Where to find it in common systems:

• Jamf Pro / Jamf School: Configuration Profiles → New → Web Clips payload. Scope it to your student iPads.
• Microsoft Intune: Apps → All apps → Add → iOS/iPadOS web clip. Assign it to your student device group.
• Mosyle: Management → Web Clips → add a new Web Clip and assign it to your iPad groups.
• Apple Configurator: create a profile with a Web Clips payload and install it on the iPads.

3. First sign-in

Students tap Flashdrop, confirm they're 13 or older, and sign in with their school Google account. Anyone with your school's email domain joins your license automatically. There's nothing to set up per student.

4. Camera access

The first time a student snaps notes, the iPad asks to allow the camera for flashdropai.com. Tap Allow. If you restrict camera access by profile, make sure Safari (and web apps) can use the camera.

5. Check it works

• The Flashdrop icon appears on the home screen and opens full screen.
• A student can sign in with a school account and sees "School License" in Settings.
• Snapping a page of notes works (camera allowed, upload not blocked).
