Chrome - is it maybe the popup blocker?
Failing to find API - I know this will happen on Moodle when using launch.html if you set the SCO to 'open in new window'. IF that's what you have set, change to 'open in same window'.

Re: Chrome unable to connect to LMS
Thanks Matt.
I've got the pop blocker disabled but it looks like that doesn't prevent automatically launched pop ups being blocked. There has to be some user interaction, such as a click, to allow a pop up.
Which would be fine except when I launch the new window from a click I get the can't connect to LMS error. On desktop the automatically opened window can connect to the LMS without problems, but I launch it from a click I see the same error. So it's definitely that.
So I think I need to either
- get ipad chrome to respect pop up blocker settings
- get the LMS connection working when new window is opened from a click

Oh I see, sorry I didn't realise you meant Chrome on iPad
To be honest, we've always struggled with getting that to work as well and - for that reason - generally state that only Safari on iOS is supported.
I'm not sure Chrome on iPad is even part of the list of browsers supported by Adapt.
One interesting point to note - Apple actually don't allow any HTML rendering engine other than the 'webkit' engine built into iOS. So, when you use a browser like Chrome on iOS, it's not actually Chrome - it's still effectively Safari, only with a different interface. And, on iOS7 and below, somewhat slower than the 'real' Safari.

Thanks Matt.
I've ended up modifying spoor to just silence the error messages. Very far from ideal but I'd rather have it fail silently and have the user be able to complete the course without SCORM interaction than fail completely.
Interesting info about chrome on ipad as well.
