New features summary

These are cumulative new feature summaries. If a release does not appear in this section, then there were no associated new features and enhancements. For a complete list of new features, known and resolved issues, and limitations, see the AppConnect for iOS Release Notes.

  • Extensible Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration to manage pasteboard permission pop-up: The pasteboard permission feature in iOS 16+ devices displays a notification pop-up asking the user permission before accessing the pasteboard content from another application. Whenever an AppConnect app switches to the client and back, during the normal AppConnect check-in process, a pasteboard pop-up appears.

    The Extensible Single Sign-On configuration from the Core server lets you enable or suppress the banner or pop-ups from appearing on OS client and AppConnect applications. The AppConnect applications that do not support the Extensible Single Sign-on configuration will continue to use the pasteboard feature and display the banner or pop-up.

    The server pushes the Extensible Single Sign-On configuration after the MDM profile is installed. During this interval of a few minutes, the SSO Extension does not work.

    The pasteboard banner or pop-up will continue to appear on iOS 16+ devices in the following scenarios:

    • If the device user performs copy or paste.

    • While generating AppConnect application logs (since the transmission of log files take place through pasteboard).

    • If Mobile@Work application or AppConnect application does not support the Extensible Single Sign-On configuration.

    For more information, see Configuring iOS 16 compatibility for AppConnect quick start .

  • Certificate-based authentication for AppConnect apps that use WKWebView: Adding the AppConnect 4.8.0 SDK to your apps that use WKWebView allows the apps to authenticate to enterprise services using identity certificates. Previously, only AppConnect apps using UIWebView supported certificate-based authentication.

    Set up certificate-based authentication using the keys MI_AC_CLIENT_CERT_# and MI_AC_CLIENT_CERT_#_RULE. For information about configuring certificate-based authentication, see "Setting up certificate authentication from an AppConnect app" in the AppConnect for Core Guide or the AppConnect for Ivanti Neurons for MDM Guide.

  • Content changes for rebranding and distribution: Product documentation has been rebranded to align with Ivanti standards and is now available on the Ivanti documentation website.
