Description
Changes to SDK and software requirements

Android
13 readiness
This release adds support for devices using
Android
13. Due to new intent filtering on
Android
13, which impacts easy activation, authentication delegation, and intercontainer communications (ICC), you must update
BlackBerry Dynamics Bindings for Xamarin.Android
to version 11.0.
As a result of the new intent filtering, apps that target Android 13 (API level 33) will only be supported in the upcoming
BlackBerry Dynamics Bindings for Xamarin.Android
release.
Support for Android 13 requires an update to the
Java
Development Kit. For more information see Java compatibility in the
BlackBerry Dynamics Bindings for Xamarin.Android
software requirements
.
Changes to
Android
8 support
Support for
Android
8 has been removed in this release.
ClipboardManager enhancements
The clearPrimaryClip() function has been added to the ClipboardManager class in this release of BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android. For more information, see ClipboardManager in the BlackBerry Dynamics API reference.
Third-party IDP activation enhancements
Users can now activate a
BlackBerry Dynamics
app through a third-party IDP, such as
Active Directory
or
Okta
. Users can also sign in using their organizational credentials if they need to reset their app password or if their app has been locked. If this feature is enabled by an administrator, users will not need to request an unlock code through UEM self-service or from their administrator.
Changes to Android custom keyboard support
Support to enable or disable
Android
custom keyboards using a
BlackBerry Dynamics
profile setting has been added in this release. This setting is disabled by default and administrators will need to enable it to block the use of Android custom keyboards.
