iPadOS 17.6+ has an issue that can crash older versions of LockDown Browser for iPad. We have updated the LockDown Browser app (version 12.2) to work around this issue, and we recommend that users upgrade to this version. Go to the app store on the iPad, search for “LockDown Browser” and select the update option. The direct link is: ‎LockDown Browser

Starting in the summer of 2024, all LockDown Browser quizzes that do not require a webcam are able to be taken on an iPad. Instructors may choose to allow iPad testing for webcam quizzes, speak with your instructor to find out if you can take a quiz on an iPad or not.
