  • Device notifications
    : When you open the
    UEM Client
     for Android 12.41.x for the first time on an
    Android
     13 device, users must allow the

    BlackBerry Connectivity
     app from the work space and allow the app to send notifications to the device. Also, after activating the device using

     for
    Android
     12.41.x, users receive a device notification from the
    UEM Client
     to open the
    BlackBerry Connectivity
     app. Permissions are required to receive essential notifications such as compliance violation and connectivity notifications. This limitation does not affect devices that were already activated and are upgrading to
    Android
    13.

     conditional access enrollment
    : If an administrator enabled
    Azure AD
     conditional access for a device, and the device is not already enrolled, the user can now select "Enroll Conditional Access" from the
    BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
     settings menu to manually trigger the enrollment.
