BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android

version 12.0.1.79

On

Samsung

devices with

Android

10, when a user copies color formatted text and pastes it into a non-GDTextView (android.widget.TextView) field, while the DLP policy "Do not allow copying data from non

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps into

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps" is turned off, the text will not maintain the color format. (GD-60975)

Users cannot upload files from

Google Drive

by selecting the file from the native

Android

file picker. (GD-60021)

The

Android

runtime permission

POST_NOTIFICATIONS

is no longer required by

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android

11.0. However, if permission has been requested by the app and granted by the user, mobile threat detections will be alerted via push notification. For apps still using

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

10.2 or earlier, the end user is prompted to grant this permission after they upgrade to

Android

13. (GD-58740)

If a user opens a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app on an insecure

Wi-Fi

network while the

Unsafe Wi-Fi detected

compliance action is enabled, they will receive a dialog stating that the application is blocked for this network. If the user opens the network settings on

Android

13, the network settings panel will be blank until the user taps the

Settings

button from the panel. (GD-59357)

On devices running

Android

14, if a user turns on airplane mode during the retrieving policies stage of the app provision, the app will stop responding. (GD-62564)

If a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app is sent to the background and returned to the foreground, various UI issues may appear on the password screen. (GD-62380) (GD-62273)

In some instances, the cancel button will not display on the certificate enrollment screen. (GD-62302)

If a user enables biometric log in from the

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher

settings but dismisses the biometric activation prompt, the biometric log in toggle will still be enabled. (GD-62284)

In some instances, the biometric login screen may display even after it was dismissed by the user. (GD-62275) (GD-62269)

On devices running

Android

14, if a user uses the

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher

to switch between

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps, the screen may appear blank after navigating to a new app. (GD-62182)

In some cases, if a user opens the docs section of the

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher

on a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app, sends the app to the background, and returns it to the foreground, the app may stop responding. (GD-62135)

Activating an app on an

Android

14 emulator will fail if you provision the app with biometric log in. (GD-61557)

Play Integrity

attestation will fail during app provision on an

Android

emulator. (GD-61278)

If you configured the

BlackBerry Dynamics

profile to require users to enter their password when a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app returns to the foreground, on

Android

12 devices, the app does not prompt the user for their password when it returns to the foreground. (GD-56162)

If a user with

Android

11 or later is activating a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app using a QR code and selects the "Only this time" option when prompted to grant permissions, certificate import issues might occur if the app remains in the background for longer than one minute during the import process.

BlackBerry

recommends that users select the "While using the app" option when prompted. (GD-54972)

Workaround

: Instruct users to force close the app and open it again.

If a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app uses

Kerberos

authentication and the app tries to access a web page using an IP address, after the user enters their credentials, the web page does not load as expected and the user is prompted for their credentials again in a loop. (GD-54481)

Workaround

: When developing

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps, do not hard code URLs that use IP addresses. If users can manually enter a URL, instruct users to avoid URLs that use an IP address.

If battery saving mode is enabled and an app tries to open a

BlackBerry Dynamics

app that was not already open using AppKinetics, the

BlackBerry Dynamics

app might not come to the foreground. (GD-54205)

Workaround

: The user can start the

BlackBerry Dynamics

app and leave it running in the background before performing the AppKinetics operation.

If you use direct references to the

BlackBerry Dynamics

SDK .aar files in your build.gradle repositories (for example,

implementation name:'android_handheld_platform-$DYNAMICS_SDK_VERSION', ext:'aar'

) instead of using Maven linkage (for example,

implementation 'com.blackberry.blackberrydynamics:android_handheld_platform:$DYNAMICS_SDK_VERSION'

), errors may occur in the AndroidManifest file in the

Gradle

caches directory. To resolve this, use Maven linkage or specify

android_handheld_resources

and

android_handheld_platform

in the build.gradle file. (GD-51938)

The

Android

certificate import API for the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK is no longer supported. BlackBerry recommends using certificates from the

Android

Native Keystore if it is acceptable that the key material is protected by the device and not by

BlackBerry Dynamics

. (GD-51742)
