.NET has been upgraded to version 8.0. For more information, see the
Microsoft
 resource What's new in .NET MAUI for .NET 8 and the
GitHub
 resource Upgrading .NET MAUI from .NET 7 to .NET 8.
To use .NET 8 in
Visual Studio
 Mac, you must select the preview feature "Use the .NET8 SDK if installed".
Xcode
 15 support
This release requires
Xcode

Microsoft.iOS
 17.2.8004 or later.
Target support for
iOS
 17
This release adds target support for
iOS
 17.
SSO for web authentication
You can now use Single Sign-On (SSO) with ASWebAuthenticationSession applications.
Screenshot prevention
You can prevent users from taking screenshots across all the
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps using the new "Do not allow screenshots on
iOS
 devices"
BlackBerry Dynamics
 profile setting. If an app policy for screenshot prevention is defined, it will take priority and the profile setting will be ignored.
If a device user tries to take a screenshot in a
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app after this option is enabled, a blank image with the following message is saved instead: "Your organization prevents screenshots being taken within this app."
This option is supported for
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps that use
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
 12.1 and later, and replaces the
iOS
 screen capture detection rule in compliance profiles.
BlackBerry
 recommends using the new profile setting and disabling the compliance rule. The compliance rule will be deprecated in a future
UEM
 release.
For more information, see BlackBerry Dynamics profile settings in the
UEM
 content.
Support for
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 insecure
Wi-Fi
 access point detection for
iOS
UEM
 12.20 adds support for a new
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 feature, insecure
Wi-Fi
 access point detection for
iOS
 (see Protecting devices from network threats in the
CylancePROTECT Mobile
 content). You can leverage this feature in your
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps.
If you want to use the insecure
Wi-Fi
 detection feature, you must add the Access Wi-Fi Information Entitlement to the app configuration (plist) of your
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app, and the app must prompt the user to grant location permissions that are required for the insecure
Wi-Fi
 feature to work. The
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK
 cannot automatically prompt the user or grant location permissions for the device. The feature will not work if the user does not grant location permissions (
UEM
 will report a compliance issue).
BlackBerry Persona
 compatibility
The SDK is no longer compatible with
BlackBerry Persona
. APIs related to
BlackBerry Persona
, such as BISThreatStatusAPI, have been removed.

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher Library

This release uses
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher Library
 version 12.1.822.23.

BlackBerry Dynamics
 .NET app for an
