Release Updates: 

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub 24.07.5 for macOS

  • In this release, we have redesigned the profile version attributes shared in device state exchange and profile sampling to support UEM modern stack architecture.

Bugs Fixed:

  • HUBM-9270: macOS HUB app crash while refreshing the catalog.
  • HUBM-8965: Secure Channel race condition causing UEM connection issues.
  • HUBM-9373: During manual upgrade, UI gets stuck while checking for update

Staged Rollout at 50% | Workspace ONE Boxer 25.02 for Android

  • (Experimental) Rich text formatting in signatures and email compose screen
  • This feature allows users to add different text styles and bulleted lists to their signatures.
  • Users can configure different signatures with rich text formatting for multiple accounts.
  • When composing, replying, and forwarding emails, the users can select the formatting icon from the bottom bar. As a result, several formatting options are available which can be applied to the emails.
  • RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew are supported.
  • Additional Information:
  • If rich text formatting is activated, inline images are not supported in signatures.
  • End users can turn on this functionality using a feature flag, Rich text compose. This feature flag is present in Advanced settings > Enable features.
  • Accept Proposed New Time
  • This feature allows a meeting organizer to respond with a single tap to new, proposed times from meeting attendees.
  • When a meeting attendee declines or tentatively accepts an invite and proposes a new time for the meeting, the meeting organizer receives an email with a prompt that allows the organizer to accept or ignore the proposed time.
  • Meeting organizers can see their own availability during the proposed slot before they respond to the proposed time.
  • If the organizer accepts the proposed time, the meeting is moved to the proposed slot. New meeting invites are sent to all attendees and the attendees are prompted to respond to the new invite.
  • Improvements in Collection of Application Logs
  • Administrators can use KVPs to control log collection and enable plain text logging to help diagnose and resolve issues. When plain text logging is enabled, the logs might include additional details such as full email addresses, IP addresses, and connectivity data.
  • By default, all plain text logging is deactivated for the end user which means that sensitive information is masked.
  • End users are asked for their consent before changes such as turning on plain text logging, sending verbose logs (with masked or unmasked data), or enabling verbose logging, are applied.
  • The following two KVPs IsVerboseLoggingEnabled and AccAllowLogsObfuscationDeactivation can be used to allow control over logging.
  • IsVerboseLoggingEnabled
  • This is an application level, boolean, KVP and the default value is false. As a result, verbose logging is turned off for the end user.
  • A checkbox, Enable verbose debug logging is presented to the end user in Advanced settings.
  • When the checkbox is selected, users are asked for consent and verbose logging is enabled. When the checkbox is cleared, verbose logging is deactivated.
  • When the value of the KVP is set to true, verbose logging is always enabled for the end user and the Enable verbose debug logging checkbox is not present.
  • AccAllowLogsObfuscationDeactivation
  • This is an account level, boolean, KVP and the default value is false. As a result, plain text logging is turned off and sensitive data is always masked.
  • When the KVP is configured as true and the IsVerboseLoggingEnabled KVP is set to true, a checkbox Activating Plain Text Logging is presented to the end users in Advanced settings.
  • When the checkbox is selected, plain text logging is activated which means that sensitive data is not masked and collected during logging. When the checkbox is cleared or Workspace ONE Boxer application restarts, plain text logging is deactivated and sensitive data is masked again in the logs.
  • Quality improvements and crash fixes
