Configure compliance settings so you can debug your app

Compliance profiles in 
BlackBerry UEM
 provide the ability to detect when a device OS is jailbroken and to initiate an enforcement action (this option is disabled by default). This feature extends to deployed 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, compiled with SDK version 5.0 or later, where an active debugging tool is detected. Your options for configuring this feature depend on the version of 
BlackBerry UEM
 and the 
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
:
  • If your organization uses 
    BlackBerry UEM
     version 12.11 MR1 or later and the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
     version 6.1 or later, when you enable the compliance setting to detect a jailbroken OS, you can configure the setting “Enable anti-debugging for 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps”. If enabled, the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics Runtime
     stops a 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app if it detects an active debugging tool. If disabled, the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics Runtime
     takes no action when it detects an active debugging tool.
  • In 
    UEM
     versions earlier than 12.11 MR1, the “Enable anti-debugging for BlackBerry Dynamics apps” option is not present and this functionality is enabled by default. If you enable the compliance setting to detect a jailbroken OS, the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics Runtime
     stops a 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app when it detects an active debugging tool.
If you want to debug a 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app in an environment where a compliance profile is applied, verify that the compliance settings are configured as required. Alternatively, you can use a non-debug build of your app to test it with the compliance settings enabled.
