Overriding the Open In Policy for openURL: with the mailto: scheme
This AppConnect release allows either the app or MobileIron server administrator to override the Open In policy when the policy blocks the iOS native email app when the app calls openURL: with the mailto: scheme.
The AppConnect library overrides the Open In policy for native email if either of the following are true:
| • | The MobileIron server administrator added the key MI_AC_DISABLE_SCHEME_BLOCKING with the value true to the app’s app-specific configuration. |
| • | The app’s Info.plist contains the MI_APP_CONNECT dictionary with the key MI_AC_DISABLE_SCHEME_BLOCKING with the value YES. |
| NOTE: | THE MI_APP_CONNECT dictionary is new in this release. |
See Open In policy API details .
SwiftFileSharing demonstrates sharing secure files from an extension
This AppConnect release has enhanced the SwiftFileSharing sample app to demonstrate how to share secure files from an app’s extension using AppConnect APIs.
