What's New in the
BlackBerry UEM Client
 for
Android
 12.45.0.158273

The previous release of the
UEM Client
 for
Android
 introduced a change for enterprise connectivity configured for container wide VPN (see "Enterprise connectivity enhancement" for version 12.45.0.158224). This release modifies the described behavior so that it occurs only if the user is assigned an Intercede user credential profile.
In the previous release, if you did not want the
UEM Client
 to route traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
, or if you used the
UEM Client
 as the authentication delegate for
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, you had to add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile. With the changes made in this release, you no longer need to add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list, but it is still recommended to add the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list if you do not want traffic to go through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
.
For more information, and to verify that VPN traffic is not blocked by firewall or proxy settings, see KB140552.

 12.45.0.158224

Enterprise connectivity enhancement
: If you've enabled BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus for your organization's
Android
 devices, and you selected "Container wide VPN" in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile, by default the
BlackBerry UEM Client
 will route device-wide VPN traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 to
UEM
. If you do not want the
UEM Client
 to route traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
, or if you use the
UEM Client
 as the authentication delegate for
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile.
This change does not impact enterprise connectivity profiles where
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 is configured for "Per-app VPN", unless the package ID of the
UEM Client
 is added to the list of apps that are allowed to use enterprise connectivity.
Note that if your organization uses
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, it is recommended that you restrict the apps from using
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
. For more information, see Android: Enterprise connectivity profile settings.

    Android
     15
    : The
    UEM Client
     now supports devices running
    Android
     15, including devices with

    .
  • Derived credentials
    : Users can now scan an Intercede MyID QR code using the

  • Allow Circle to Search functionality
    : The "Allow Circle to Search" IT policy rule allows administrators to control whether the Circle to Search functionality is enabled in the work profile. The rule is enabled by default and applies to devices running
    Android
     15 or later. This feature requires
    BlackBerry UEM
     server 12.21.
  • UI changes in the
    UEM Client
    :
    • The "Password and biometrics" section in the Settings menu is hidden if the administrator selected the "Do not require password" option for
      Android
       device in the
      BlackBerry Dynamics
       profile.
    • The "Assigned IT policies" menu is hidden in the
      UEM Client
       home screen if the device is activated with the
      User privacy
       activation type.
  • Changes to IT policy rules
    : The "Allow screenshots in the work profile to be stored in the personal profile" IT policy rule is not supported on devices running
    Android

 (
Android Enterprise
) or
Work space only
 (
