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.

  • Update to Target SDK: The Target SDK has been updated to 36.

  • IMEI Support for Device Registration: In this release, device registration requests now include the device IMEI number. This enhancement enables IMEI-based identification during the enrollment process, improving support for bulk enrollments where devices are provisioned using IMEI information without requiring a serial number. This helps streamline device registration and enables more flexible enrollment workflows.

  • Direct In-House App Deployment for Work Profile Devices: In this release, in-house application deployment is now supported for Android Enterprise devices enrolled using EPO (Enterprise Provisioning Owner) registration mode. Administrators can distribute and manage in-house APKs on supported Samsung devices with a valid Samsung General Policy (Knox) license, enabling required applications to be deployed automatically during device provisioning.

  • Introduction of Support Tab: Starting with this release, Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android introduces the Support Tab, a customizable, policy-driven feature that centralizes support contact information. The Support Tab includes email addresses, phone numbers, URLs, and useful links, ensuring users always have access to up-to-date support information from a single, consistent location.

  • Custom Ticketing Portal Link in Support Tab: Administrators can now configure a custom ticketing portal URL within the Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android application. The Support Tab displays this URL, allowing end users to directly access the configured portal to submit support tickets using the Raise a Support Ticket option.

  • Reporting Active SIM Subscriptions: Devices now report all active SIM subscriptions to Ivanti EPMM, regardless of the provisioning method. This enhancement provides administrators with a complete and accurate view of active subscriptions available on the device. The feature applies to both physical SIMs and eSIMs, improving visibility into device subscription information.

  • Lockdown Configuration Support for Always On VPN: Administrators can allow whitelisted apps to bypass the VPN and access the internet when the Always‑On VPN connection is disconnected.

  • Improved Access to Location Services: Administrators can now automatically enable location services to ensure reliable access to device location. This enhancement allows admins to request a device’s location when needed, with user involvement required where applicable.

  • Smishing Protection Enhancement: In Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android, administrators can now manage Smishing protection through the Ivanti EPMM.

    Disabling the Smishing protection causes the app to automatically restart.

  • Support for EULA: Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android app users can now access the End User License Agreement (EULA) by navigating to Settings > About > View the End User License Agreement.

  • Updated logo: The Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android logo has been updated with a new logo. Update the app from the Google Play Store.

    This update applies only to organizations using branding.

  • Support for App Functions: Introducing a new Lockdown feature for App Functions with three configurable states Not Controlled, Disabled, and Disabled for Cross Profile. This Lockdown policy can be applied for Profile Owner, Work Profile on Company-Owned Devices, and Device Owner modes.

  • Support for Lookout SDK: Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android now integrates with Lookout SDK version 4.2.5.193.

  • Support for Samsung Knox SDK 3.12: Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android now integrates with Samsung Knox SDK version 3.12.

  • Enhanced EID retrieval for Android devices: Support has been added in Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android to fetch EID values on Android devices running Android 13 and later. The retrieval behavior varies based on the device ownership mode:

    • Work Managed Device mode: EID values are retrieved automatically without user interaction.

    • Work Profile and Work Profile on Company Owned Device modes: EID values are retrieved only when a request command is issued from the server.

  • Support for Android 15 eSIM provisioning: Added support for eSIM provisioning on Android 15. The Ivanti Mobile@Work for Android now automatically installs an eSIM when a valid provisioning policy is received and cleanly uninstalls the eSIM when the policy is removed.

Mobile Threat Defense features

Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) protects managed devices from mobile threats and vulnerabilities affecting device, network, and applications. For information on MTD-related features, as applicable for the current release, see the Mobile Threat Defense Solution Guide for Ivanti EPMM for your platform, available under the MOBILE THREAT DEFENSE section on the Ivanti Product Documentation page.

Each version of the MTD guide contains all Mobile Threat Defense features that are currently fully tested and available for use on both server and client environments. Because of the gap between server and client releases, new versions of the MTD guide are made available with the final release in the series when the features are fully functional.
