I have no idea what their system runs, but if it is using mtp we test
that on ubuntu/windows/Macos for every release.

If they are using a linux base in the kiosk then I assume it just does
recognise it not sure there is anything we can do about that, you may
have the same issue on android too though.

As for bluetooth hopefully moving forward that will be implemented with
the arrival of bluez 5 which couldn't be landed with the older version
