Update Photobooth
There's 2 ways:

1. If you have installed Photobooth via git:
   Open a Terminal and navigate into your installation folder, by default /var/www/html:
   cd /var/www/html
   Now fetch latest source and checkout:

   sudo -u www-data -s
   git fetch origin
   git checkout origin/dev
   

   Update submodules and build the css files:

   git submodule update --init
   yarn install && yarn build
   

   Once that's done you're ready
   exit

2. Using a ready to use package:
   Download and extract the package (needs to be a own folder) and open a terminal from that path. Now type the following to update:
   sudo bash update-booth.sh --path="/var/www/html"
   (Adjust path if needed)
   Done :)

Limitations
As of v2.3.0 we're using a new translation library which also would need to be reverted to keep Photobooth running on an old iPad.
I am not going to move back on that as it would require to much time on upcoming releases, but maybe if i have enough time i add some of the new features and bugfixes to v2.2 with ipad2/3 compatibility.

Supported browser for v2.3 and newer can be found here:

Initial Issue and explaination

Hi - first, many thanks for this great solution. Thanks a million for creating it and keep it up please, it is excellent - I'm in the process of to build my own photobox and yours is really what I am looking for.

I would like to use my (reasonably old) iPad2 in the photobox, with Photobooth on it. But found that the current master (2.1.0-alpha) is not working on iOS 9.3.5 (latest for iPad2).

Now - I am not at all a Javascript coder but thought I'd give it a try as Photobooth really is a great solution. So having a closer look I think I found three minor adjustments, which together seems make the code work also on iOS9 / Safari 9.

First, Javascript ES6 (https://webkit.org/blog/4054/es6-in-webkit/) is not supported in iOS 9 / Safari 9. As a consequence I

• replaced let by var instead
• replaced Arrow Functions () => {....} by a standard function notation function() { ... }

Second, in the Gallery I noticed that when in Photoswipe the feature tapToToggleControls will hide / show the controls (works as designed) but for some reason also prevent buttons from working on iPad2. So i.e. the download button or the qr code button did not work, likely the buttons did not receive a click or touchstart event. The feature default is:

// Tap should toggle visibility of controls
tapToToggleControls: true,

I decided not going deeper in Photoswipe but to switch off this feature in the Photobooth code. Done that in function openPhotoSwipe(), when creating the PhotoSwipe object and for me it works well (actually I prefer the controls visible all the time).

I realize this is a backward compatibiliy topic and maybe not high on the priority list. And this is fine. Yet having done the work, let me share for your possible consideration. I'll add a pull request shortly.

Best,

Final decission
Will not be merged into official stable release.

Going back to es5 is no option in my opinion. Use a transpiler or install some kind of modern browser to your device. We can't support every legacy device and it would prohibit further development
