    UEM Client
     supports a new option in the Android Enterprise device settings section of app lock mode profiles: “Prevent activity from apps that are not on the allowed list”. When enabled, any activities that are initiated by apps that are not allowed by the App lock profile (for example, a pop-up to install a different app) will be blocked.

    This release of the
    UEM Client
     is compatible with the 16 KB page size requirement, and also adds support for various software libraries (for example, SCEP, Intune, Entrust, and Intercede) that support 16 KB page sizes.

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.
