Storyline course not launching on 2nd gen iPad (but plays on newer devices)
Sep 14, 2020
I have 2 courses that were originally created in Storyline 2, published as flash with HTML5 back up. They currently work fine if launched on the Safari browser on a 2nd gen iPad. We updated the course to Storyline 360 and published as HTML5 only, and the new files do not work on the 2nd gen iPad. They do however work on newer iPads and Androids.
The HTML5 version will launch, however you only see the course name and a black screen. When launched on a newer device, you see the same, but also a play button. We have other courses with the same publishing settings and I do not have any problem playing them on this same device.
Does anyone know why this might occur and if there is a way to fix it? I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like when launching on the 2nd gen iPad, along with the publishing settings.

Hi Jennifer, check to see if the software is supported. These are the minimum requirements for viewing HTML5 content. From what I can gather from wikipedia, it looks like the device is not supported as the 2nd gen ipad isn't able to install iOS 10.

Thanks Sam! The iPad is iOS 9.3.6, but I see that iOS 10 is on the list. That being said, I would think my other courses wouldn't work either, but they do.
Yes, good point. It is possible they contain different interactions in the content? Can you confirm if the content does work with later version iPads, to confirm it is an issue with the version rather than something else? I have a later version iPad if you'd like me to test that for you?
