New features summary

These are cumulative release notes. If a release does not appear in this section, then there were no associated new features and enhancements

Product nomenclature: This is cumulative documentation and the product names you encounter in this documentation were accurate at the time of publication. Ivanti updates each new section to reflect evolving product nomenclature, but leaves legacy citations intact to ensure proper frame of reference for the reader.

  • Updating Fastlane: The Fastlane library must be updated to version 2.225.0 in order to authenticate with Apple ID.
  • Enhancement to Renew Session: The Apple ID authentication endpoint is decommissioned by Apple and has resulted in the Renew Session and Modify session to not function. Apple introduced Secure Remote Password (SRP) authentication mechanism and we have integrated it into incapptic Connect in this release.  
    As a result, the session workflow is as follows:

    • Renew Session: If the session expires, it needs two-factor authentication for the session renewal.

    • Modify: Workflow remains unchanged.

      For this enhancement, you must upgrade to Xcode 14.2 or above.

      For more information about Xcode Version Update, see Ivanti incapptic Connect OS Upgrade.

  • Changes to provision profile expiry notification email: Starting from this release, all Ivanti incapptic Connect users receive provision profile expiry email notifications for unsigned binary file.

  • Change in Apps page status column: Starting from this release, the Status column text displayed on the Apps page for applications that are associated with multiple instances of a specific target is now a consolidated summary of actions performed on the targets, rather than displaying the latest action performed. The status message includes the number of targets for which the app was successfully published, failed publishing, and total targets count.

  • New internal knowledge base link while adding New app and at Help & Support: The Ivanti incapptic Connect users who have authority to access and configure the Ivanti incapptic Connect Settings page (Administration > Settings) can configure the Display Internal Knowledge Base Link in the given field. This link configured on the Settings page will display in two places on incapptic Connect, as follows:
    1. While creating a New App, on the Please select platform pop-up window.

    2. Help & Support pop-up window.

      This will enable users to refer to knowledge base links and pages. For more information, see Settings.

  • New email notification when apps published to targets: Ivanti incapptic Connect now sends out an email to the owners and developers of the application, notifying them whether an app version is successfully published or failed to publish to the specified target.

  • New last login field added to CSV file: Starting with this release, you can now see the user’s last login field in the user report CSV file downloaded from the Users page. The field contains the following details:

  • Enhancement in the content rating category: Ivanti incapptic Connect is aligned with the new changes to the Google Play content rating declaration and related forms. The content rating category that was previously selected will be present in Google Play apps that are already available, and apps that are generated going forward must use one of the new categories. For more information, see Content Rating.
  • Change in Provision profile expiry notification email template: The Provision Profile Expiry Notification email now contains a Note as follows:

    • If your application has reached its end of life, kindly submit a request for deactivating the app.

    For more information, see Filters in App dashboard.

The banner message and email can be disabled as follows:
    • The incapptic user can increase the value in System Overview and Licenses
    • The incapptic user can increase free disk space by deleting unwanted files, directories, and so on.

    • The System Overview and Licences page also displays disk usage information such as Total, Used, and so on.
