Fixed issues

The following issues are fixed in this release:
An endless spinner displayed when a loading a webpage with spaces in the URL. (GD-60267)
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps would get stuck on the activation screen if the UEM policy "Password required for device" was disabled. (GD-60031)
If a user selected "Forgot Password" for a
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app, unlocked the app using an access key or QR code, and entered a new password, the Forgot Password UI would briefly be displayed. (GD-59948)
A user was prompted for Face ID authentication even though they entered the device password following multiple failed Face ID authentication attempts. (GD-59619)
The address bar for WKWebView apps appeared blank after navigating to a new page. (GD-59533)
When a user tapped the "Cancel" button on the Forgot Password UI for a
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app, the user was directed to the previous screen, rather than closing Forgot Password UI. (GD-59505)
Videos on a WKWebView app continued to play after navigating to a different webpage. (GD-59100)
An "Incorrect Password" error appeared during easy activation of a
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app. For more information on easy activation, see Easy Activation in the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK development guide. (GD-54031)

BlackBerry Dynamics
 app while the Change Password UI was active on the app used for activation. (GD-50525)

Known issues or limitations

  • On
    iOS
     16, dictation is still operational even if the
    Do not allow iOS dictation
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     profile setting is enabled. (GD-59536)
  • On
    iOS
     16, if a user views a .pdf in web view and long presses on some text in the file, a second pasteboard will appear with the buttons
    Look up
    ,
    Translate
    , and
    Share
    . The
    Translate
     and
    share
     buttons are not operational. The
    Look up
     button displays a preview, but it is not active and the user could not navigate through it. (GD-58940)
  • If a user upgrades a
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app that uses SDK version 9.x or earlier to a new version that uses SDK 10.1 or later, the app does not retain any cookies. (GD-55766)
  • 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 to enter their credentials again in a loop. (GD-54481)
    Workaround
    : When you develop
    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.
  • When an
    Apple
     M1 device user tries to remove a
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app binary by moving it to the trash, the secure container is not removed from the device. (GD-53650)
    Workaround:
     The user must delete the folder named ~/Library/Containers/BB_App_Name.
  • If a user provisions a
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app using biometric authentication (Touch ID or Face ID) while the
    Permit fallback to device passcode if biometric authentication fails
     policy is enabled, sends the app to the background, returns the app to the foreground, and selects
    Don't Allow
     at the Face ID prompt, the user is forced to use the device passcode to unlock the container instead of the container password. The user could not use the container password to unlock the app when it is sent to the background and returned to the foreground again.
    Workaround
    : The user must restart the app to use the container password. To re-enable Face ID authentication to the app, the user must go to Device Settings > Face ID and Passcode > Other Apps and enable Face ID for the app.
  • If a
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app uses the
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     static library, you could not build that app on an
    Apple
     M1 simulator.
