BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android
 version 7.1

What's new in the 
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android
 version 7.1

New SDK features and changes
Feature
Description
Zero sign-on for SaaS services through 
BlackBerry Enterprise Identity
Your custom 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps can leverage zero sign-on (ZSO) for SaaS through 
BlackBerry Enterprise Identity
. For more information, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Identity Administration content.
Deprecating READ_PHONE_STATE permission in an upcoming release
Support for the READ_PHONE_STATE permission will be removed from the 
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android
 in the next major release of the SDK. This permission is no longer required.
If you currently leverage this permission, you will need to add support for your own phone permission.
New administrative and security features
Feature
Description
Compliance prompt interval
SDK version 7.1 and 
UEM
 version 12.12 or later add support for compliance prompts for 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app users. Using a compliance profile, an administrator can specify the type, count, and interval for prompts before 
UEM
 executes a compliance action (for example, blocking 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps or deleting 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 app data).
Migrating 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 users between 
UEM
 domains
SDK version 7.1 and 
UEM
 version 12.12 MR1 support migrating 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 users between 
UEM
 domains. For more information, see the UEM version 12.12 Configuration Guide.
Deprecation of a setting in 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 profiles
The "Require password when 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps return to the foreground" setting in 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 profiles will be removed in an upcoming release.

BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher Library

This release uses 
BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher Library
 version 3.0.1.175.

Supported TLS protocols and cipher suites

The 
BlackBerry Dynamics SDK

BlackBerry Dynamics
 app that is upgraded to SDK version 7.0 or later might stop connecting to SSL application servers if the app uses weak ciphers.

Fixed issues

The following issue are fixed in this release:
  • Traffic from 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps was not balanced across multiple 
    BlackBerry Proxy
     instances as expected. (FIRST-17190/GD-49121)
  • If an administrator restricted versions of a 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app using the 
    UEM
     management console, the way the restricted version number was processed may have unintentionally blocked more versions of the app than intended. (FIRST-17124)
  • On 
    OnePlus
     and Redmi devices, in certain circumstances, 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps could get stuck in an authentication loop. (FIRST-17108)

Known issues

  • If a user connects a device to a 
    Windows
     or 
    Mac
     computer with a USB cable and launches 
    Samsung DeX
    , then opens a 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     app on the device, the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     sign-in screen displays as black on the computer. This issue is limited to USB connections and does not occur when using the 
    Samsung DeX Station
    . (GD-46800)
    Workaround
    : From the black screen, if the user enters their password and presses Enter, the app will log in as expected.
  • If advanced battery optimization options are enabled on a 
    OnePlus
     device, Easy Activation, authentication delegation, and other features that require communication between 
    BlackBerry Dynamics
     apps do not work as expected. (GD-43162)
    Workaround
    : Turn off battery optimization.
