incapptic Connect general new features

• Binary apps limited to four version numbers: In previous versions, during binary app processing, incapptic Connect accepted apps with more than four version elements.

Google Play new features

No new Google Play features for this release.

incapptic Connect general new features

• Improved version number check for target Core apps: For apps with a target Core, app binaries now must have a higher version number to be accepted for upload. Note that, theoretically, apps with lower version numbers could be uploaded to the Core, but, for the same label group, the app would not get updated on the devices. As many incapptic Connect users were not aware of that fact, the missing version number check caused confusion. To allow the upload of app binaries with lower version numbers, fully deactivate the version number check in the app's Advanced Settings.

• Meaningful page names now show in browser: Previously, all pages had the same name when viewed in a browser. With this release, pages have more descriptive names, for example: name and version number, or Credential Vault.

• User information report available from the Overview page: You can now download a report containing the following user information: First Name, Last Name, Email, Customer User ID (SSO user ID), User status (Active, Blocked Invited), Assigned Roles (can have multiple values; handle in a similar manner to the field App Owners in the extended app report), Password Expiration Date, and API Token Date. Scoped roles can be set to "all", where only one line is displayed.

• Support for resetting out-of-sync test user management labels:: You can now reset test user management labels that are out-of-sync with incapptic Connect.

• Support for new App Store SDK requirements: Starting April 25, 2022, all iOS apps submitted to the Apple App Store must be built with the iOS 15 or later SDK release, which requires the use of Apple developer environment Xcode 13 or later. Binary files uploaded to App Store Connect are checked for compliance, and will generate an error if the app does not meet these requirements.

• New "Ready for Review" status in App Store Connect: Apple recently introduced the "Ready for Review" status in Apple App Store Connect. This status now also displays in incapptic Connect on the App Version level.

• Support for new Apple app version number requirements: Recently, Apple changed the requirements for app version numbers (CFBundleShortVersionString) for the target App Store Connect. It now must be a period-separated list of at most three non-negative integers, for example, 1.2.3. After the binary upload, incapptic Connect now checks for compliance with the version number requirements, and rejects app binaries that do not comply. An error message explains the reasons for the rejection.

• Improved handling of Apple Team sessions: incapptic Connect has changed the way Apple Team sessions are handled. Previously, sessions could be renewed without entering two-factor authentication. With the 1.41.0 release, incapptic renews your Apple Team session automatically (if possible), so sessions last longer. You may also receive a two-factor authentication PIN from your phone to authenticate the session. You can still request a new PIN at any time by pressing Renew Session within incapptic Connect.

Google Play new features

• App data safety information: Google announced recently that developers who deploy applications to Google Play must provide app privacy and security information to their users to help users understand how the app collects and shares user data before they decide to download the app. Although Google provides their own app data safety form, incapptic Connect requires you to use an incapptic Connect form instead. You must fill out this form and upload the app data for each of your apps, starting with apps created with incapptic Connect 1.41. After you fill out and submit the incapptic Connect form, it will be downloaded as a CSV file and then uploaded to the Google Play console for you. Starting July 20, 2022, only apps that have had their data safety form updated at Google Play in this manner can be published automatically from incapptic Connect.

  For more information on the Google Play safety form see: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/10787469?hl=en.

MobileIron Cloud new features

• App for Kids information now shared with App Store Connect: Before an app is published to App Store Connect, incapptic Connect asks a series of questions, including whether or not the app is appropriate for children, and the appropriate age ranges. Previously, the "Made for Kids" metadata was not transferred to the App Store. With this release, Apps for children will include all the necessary information, including the appropriate age range for the app.

Google Play new features

• "Target API Level" now visible in the Binary Meta Data tab: Every app that is deployed to Google Play is checked to see if it meets the target API level it requires. In this release, the "Target API Level" now displays in the Binary Meta Data tab, just after Minimum API level. For versions that predate 1.40, no value will display.

• "AAB files only" option now supported: Google Play requires that all new apps be in Android App bundle (AAB) format, although Android application package (APK) format is still allowed for older apps. You now have the option of restricting your uploads to AAB files only, when you want to prevent the uploading of older APK files.

Microsoft Intune new features

• Scope tags for Microsoft Intune: incapptic Connect now supports the use of scope tags for Microsoft Intune. A scope tag assigns an Intune configuration (device configuration, compliance policy, mobile app or managed device) to one or more specific management scope(s). Scoped tags can be assigned to Intune apps after the first version is published.

With this release, you can find all the secure vault-related features together. From the top menu, select Advanced > Credential Vault.

• Extended App Report now has separate column for retired apps: Previously, the Extended App report listed detailed information of all apps including retired apps, but there was no way to differentiate between them.

The following Android features and enhancements are available in this release:
