System Requirements for Workplace apps

Difficulty: intermediate

Spacewell offers a native integration with QBIC displays (offering advantages like Remote Device Control and LED color changes to indicate reservation or occupancy status). We ensure a seamless flow on:

If you already have displays or consider buying other devices, please consider the below system requirements in order to run Spacewell Workplace apps.

The system requirements listed on this page are relevant for following applications:

• The Workplace App
• Kiosk App

Good to know

Workplace app use is optimal when downloaded from official stores

The best way to run above Spacewell Workplace apps, is to download them from the official stores: this way, the app will be updated each time Spacewell releases a new version!

In some cases, it’s possible to side-load the app. Make sure to read below instructions to see if this is possible for your use case.

Basic System Requirements for Workplace apps

In all cases, we assume

• the device is running a standard OS,
• it’s possible to download and install apps (ideally from the official app store from that OS)
• it’s possible to log in to that app by providing user name and password.

Avoid (static) images burning in the screen by choosing devices designed for 24/7 broadcasting

To ensure an optimal experience with our apps, especially those that continuously display information like the Kiosk App, it's essential to use devices designed for 24/7 operation. These devices should be capable of running continuously without interruption.

Using devices not designed for continuous operation can lead to image retention, where a static image (like a reservation status screen) can cause a permanent ghost image to appear on the screen. This can happen if the device is not equipped with features to prevent such issues.

Android

Android Software Requirements

Because of the relatively slow software update penetration on Android devices, Spacewell supports at-least the latest Android release and 3 previous versions.

This policy allows Spacewell apps to be compatible with around 90% of all active Android devices in the market at any point in time.

Most popular Android phone manufacturers also promise 3 or 2 major OS updates during a device's lifetime, which means a new device with the latest Android release will be compatible with Spacewell apps for 4-5 years comfortably.

Version compatibility

• 2026 - Android 10 to Android 16

Android Hardware Requirements

• Spacewell apps can run on 4GB RAM, but actually minimum 8GB RAM is recommended.
• (Free) Internal System Storage: minimum 8G (More offline storage capacity might be required based on app usage. Having enough free storage enables better data caching on the device, resulting in quicker loading times and a better user experience)
• Resolution: 720 X 1028 (5")
• Camera (to scan for example location QR codes): VGA (Camera support is required for some features. A camera with auto-focus is highly recommended if QR code scanning is required)

iOS

iOS Software Requirements

iOS updates are installed by users rather quickly. As a result, Spacewell apps support the latest iOS version and 1 previous version.

Version compatibility

• 2026 - 16.X and up
• 2025 - 14.X and up
• 2024 - 14.X and up
• 2023 - 14.X and up

iOS Hardware Requirements

• iPhone 8 and above
• iPhone SE 2 and above
• iPad mini 5 and above
• iPad Air 3 and above
• iPad 5 and above
• All iPad Pro models compatible with iPadOS 16

Windows - PC & Tablet

Windows Software Requirements

The minimum minor version (version 1709 as of now) is evaluated based on the technical architecture supported by Microsoft under-the-hood from that minor release onwards.

Version compatibility

2026

• Windows 11, version 24H2 or later (with the latest cumulative security updates)
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2019 (version 1809/Redstone 5) or above

2025

• Windows 11
• Windows 10 "RedStone 5" (version 1903 or above)

2023 & 2024

• Windows 11
• Windows 10 "RedStone 5" (version 1809 or above)

Windows Hardware Requirements

• Spacewell apps can run on 8GB RAM, but actually minimum 16GB RAM is recommended.
• (Free) Internal System Storage: 50GB (Windows 10 OS performance degrades considerably when the PC starts running out of disk space. SSD storage delivers major performance improvements over HDD.)
• Resolution:

  • tablet: 1360 x 768 (11") or above

  • kiosk: 1920x1080 / FHD / 1080p
• Camera (to scan for example location QR codes): VGA (Camera support is required for some features. A camera with auto-focus is highly recommended if QR code scanning is required)

Software Requirements for side-loaded apps 

Side-loaded apps are apps which are not installed via the official stores (Android Play Store, Apple App Store and Microsoft Store). Apps which are installed via the Spacewell app store are considered as side-loaded apps.
