BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android

 version 6.0.1.83

This release includes updates to support new 

Android

 Q restrictions to background activity starts.

This is a mandatory upgrade.

 You must update your 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 apps with the 6.0.1.83 SDK prior to the general release of 

Android

 Q to avoid any impact to services that leverage AppKinetics (also known as Inter-Container Communication or ICC). AppKinetics is a method for securely exchanging data and commands between two 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 apps on the same device (for more information, see the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK Development Guide). Examples of impacted services include the bringToFront method and Launcher.

If a 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 app that you’ve updated with the 6.0.1.83 SDK  attempts to communicate with a 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 app that uses an earlier version of the SDK, the following alert displays: “

<App name>

 does not fully support the version of Android on this device. Please try updating the application to the latest version.” 

The 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 Trusted Authentication Framework (TAF) is now able to activate programmatically. For more information about programmatic activation, see the BlackBerry Dynamics SDK Development Guide.

The Class123Skelton sample app has been updated to demonstrate how to enable programmatic activation.

The TAF SDK provides extensions to the 

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

 that allow you to easily integrate third-party authentication technologies and other cryptography-based functions into the 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 environment. For more information, see the Trusted Authentication Framework for BlackBerry Dynamics site.

To support 

Android

 Q compatibility, the latest version of the Trusted Application Framework SDK (6.0.1.37) should be used with the 

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android

 version 6.0.1.83. 

You can now migrate 

BlackBerry Dynamics

 apps that use the Trusted Authentication Framework (TAF) from 

Good Control

 to 

UEM
