Kiosk apps are designed to run full screen on ChromeOS without allowing the user to exit the app. While this can increase focus and engagement, it can also make it difficult to test and debug an application in kiosk mode.

To address this issue, we have released Kiosk Troubleshooting Tools—available on the ChromeOS platform as of version 113.

Today, you'll learn how to use Kiosk Troubleshooting Tools to better test and debug your application, whether directly or remotely through the admin console for your kiosk application.
