New features and enhancements summary

This release includes the following new features and enhancements:

• Avoid pasteboard notifications: To avoid pasteboard notifications on users' devices when using AppConnect apps, set up an App Group for your AppConnect apps. Setting up an App Group reduces flipping between the AppConnect app and the MobileIron client and avoids pasteboard notifications. For more information, see Optional: Avoiding pasteboard notifications.

Resolved issues

This release includes the following new resolved issues:

• AP-5578: Fixed an issue due to which the check-in request failed when users were prompted to authenticate.

Known issues

This release includes the following new known issues:

• AP-5557: On iOS 12 devices, users are not required to authenticate when using AppConnect 4.7.0 apps. This is an intermittent issue.

  Workaround: Upgrade to iOS 13 through the latest version as supported by MobileIron.

• AP-5567: The following issue is seen if the AppConnect Global policy is applied to some AppConnect apps and the AppConnect Container policy is applied to other AppConnect apps, and Authorize is not checked for the option Apps without an AppConnect container policy. AppConnect apps that are packaged using the 4.7.0 SDK and do not have a container policy will not go into an unauthorized state till the next check in.

  Workaround: Shorten the check in interval to reduce the time interval where the unauthorized apps continue to work until the next checkin.

• AP-5484: Instead of displaying a failed to authenticate error message on the MobileIron client, users are asked to contact their IT administrator.

• AP-5482: When users cancel Touch ID authentication, they are shown a 'Contact Admin' error message instead of a 'Failed to authenticate' user error message.

Limitations

This release includes the following new limitations:

• AP-5497: On iOS 12 or earlier versions as supported by MobileIron, device users are prompted for biometric authentication more than once.

• AP-5504: To accommodate pasteboard changes in iOS 14, users cannot copy from AppConnect 4.6 (previous versions of AppConnect apps as supported by MobileIron) apps to AppConnect 4.7 apps if the Data Loss Prevention policy only allows copy/paste to other AppConnect apps. Copy/paste works when copying from 4.7 to older apps or when the policy is set to allow all apps.

• AP-5563: Since the Pasteboard is used for sending logs, notifications are seen when sending AppConnect app logs.

• AP-5559: If an AppConnect app is set up to avoid pasteboard notifications (MI_AC_ACCESS_GROUP key in added to the app's Info.plist file), sometimes the MobileIron client may log out while the user is still using the AppConnect app. As a result, users are prompted to authentication when they activate the app.

• AP-5553: App status is not updated from pending to authorized state till the next app check in.
