What's new in BlackBerry UEM Cloud

Android

app licenses

: The

Android

app license page has been removed from the

UEM

management console.

Google Play

Store layout

: You must use the Organize Apps functionality in

Google Play

iFrame to manage your

Google Play

Store layout. You can no longer use the Category drop-down list in the app details to manage your

Google Play

Store layout.

VPN profile

: You specify an associated proxy profile when you select “IKEv2 Always On” in a VPN profile

Purebred

app

: When you use the new

Purebred

app version 2.1 (8), which must be submitted through the Custom App Distribution mechanism, you must update the uniform type identifiers (UTI) that contain underscores (‘_’) to dashes (‘-‘) for the

BlackBerry UEM Client

app policy. For example, use

purebred.select.all-user; purebred.select.no-filter; purebred.zip.all-user; purebred.zip.no-filter

. Users may need to reactivate the new

Purebred

app on their device.

Cryptographic tokens for

iOS

devices

:

UEM

now supports the CryptoTokenKit framework for

iOS

devices so that

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps can access cryptographic tokens from PKI apps (such as Purebred). Support for cryptographic tokens is enabled when you select the “Native keystore” connection option and the

iOS

platform in the user credential profile. This feature requires

UEM

12.16 and apps that use

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

10.2 or later.

User credential profiles

: In user credential profiles that use native keystore connections, you can now specify the device OS platforms that you want the profile to apply to.

Shared

iPad

devices

:

iPad

devices can now be shared between multiple users. When users sign in with a Managed

Apple

ID their data loads, and the user then has access to their own email accounts, files,

iCloud

Photo Library, app data, and more.

Android

software releases

: In the device SR requirements profile, you can now apply

Android

OS updates to

Samsung

devices.

BlackBerry Dynamics

profile

: A new setting was added to the

BlackBerry Dynamics

profile that allows you to specify whether

Android

device users can use custom keyboards with

BlackBerry Dynamics

apps.

MSAL Authentication

:

BEMS

Cloud now uses the

Microsoft

Authentication Library in

BEMS-Mail

and

BEMS-Docs

to authenticate to

Microsoft Office 365

resources such as

Microsoft Outlook

,

Microsoft SharePoint Online

,

Microsoft OneDrive for Business

Azure
