Release Updates:

Omnissa Workspace ONE Hub Services

What’s New in the May 2025 Release

Conditional Entitlements Phase 1: Lock Apps based on Access Policy

Access policy rules set by admins in Omnissa Access determine which apps an end user can launch, based on factors such as their network range, device type, or group membership. Currently, all apps are available to the user in the Hub catalog, and when they launch an app that is restricted by Access policy rules, they are denied access during the launch process.

The conditional entitlements enhancement to the Hub catalog improves the user experience by locking (greying out) apps that a user is restricted from launching based on Access policy rules. The user interface only reflects existing restrictions that have been configured in the customer tenant, and does not change any behavior for unrestricted apps.

This is Phase 1 of a two-phase rollout of conditional entitlements. In Phase 2, Hub Services admins will have the option to either display (as locked) restricted apps or hide them entirely from end users.

This feature is limited to the Hub web portal only.

The scope of this feature is limited to only those apps on which Access policies are applicable.

Note: As with all preview releases, certain aspects of this feature may change before it goes live.

End User Rating and Statistics report for Horizon Cloud Service Next-Gen resources

From Intelligent Hub, end users can now like or dislike (thumbs up or thumbs down) a Horizon Cloud Service Next-Gen app or desktop.

Hub Services admins can now download a consolidated report of all apps and their ratings statistics. The statistics include the number of likes and dislikes for each Horizon Cloud Service Next-Gen app.

Apple Books in iOS Hub

End users can now access Apple books on their iOS Hub app.

Email recipients and Archive Notifications

Hub Services admins can now save email recipients to an archived notification so that an archived notification can be resent to the same audience without re-entering their email addresses.

Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub 24.04.17 for Windows

What’s New

  • Bug Fixes ONLY

Resolved Issues

  •   HUBW-18074 – Enhanced BitLocker to go, now start encryption only after recovery key is saved to DB
  •   HUBW-18035 – Post Enrolment Onboarding screen not showing up when HUB is launched
  •   HUBW-18008 – Migrated Hub from using WMIC to MMI as WMIC is deprecated in Windows 11

Workspace ONE Boxer 25.04 for iOS

What’s NewNew Features

  • (Experimental) Rich text formatting in the email compose screen
  • Note: End users can turn on this functionality using a feature flag, Rich text compose. This feature flag is present in Advanced settings > Enable features.
  • When composing, replying, and forwarding emails, users can select the formatting icon from the bottom bar. As a result, several formatting options such as bold, italics, bullet points, text color, and fonts are available which can be applied to the emails.
  • With this feature, end users have a visually appealing and organized presentation of their emails.
  • Health Check Indicators Control Setting
  • Administrators can control the display of health check indicators in the Workspace ONE Boxer interface using an application-level, boolean, KVP HealthCheckIndicators.
  • By default, the value of the KVP is True.
  • When the KVP value is True, all health indicators are displayed.
  • As a result, end users can monitor system health and performance effectively.
  • When the KVP is set to False, all health indicators are hidden.
  • This option can be used when the health check indicators are not required in the current context for the end users.
  • Quality improvements and crash fixes

Resolved IssuesBINXI-24573 [Delegated Calendars] Event reminders are not set correctly when the calendar is delegated
BINXI-24711 [Delegated Calendar] Some calendar events in the delegated account are not visible due to parsing issues
BINXI-24721 [HealthCheck] Initial enrolment for an unmanaged account incorrectly displays a red alert in the Settings tab
BINXI-24749 [Emails] Emails have incorrect dates when the initial S/MIME data is empty

Workspace ONE Secure Email Gateway 2.32

What’s New:

  • We are always working to improve Workspace ONE Secure Email Gateway with every release. There are no new features to introduce for this release.

Workspace ONE Tunnel for Windows 25.02

What’s New:
Reintroducing support for Rapid DTR functionality.

  • Rapid DTR is now enabled by default.
  • Tunnel configuration and DTR updates may now be delivered in real time to the Tunnel client. This has the benefit of decoupling and reducing certificate regeneration when you want to deliver Device Traffic Rules.
  • The Tunnel client will instead check in with UEM every 4 hours and on service start.
  • Technical Requirements for this feature:
  • Workspace ONE HUB version 24.10 or later
  • For UEM version 2410 and lower, enable the following Feature Flag: RemoveWindowsTunnelProfileDependencyFeatureFlag

Resolved Issues:

  • PPAT-18822: Unable to access applications over loopback address.
  • PPAT-19054: Tunnel icon not available in system tray.
  • PPAT-19131: Improvements to memory management to address intermittent memory spikes.

Known Issues:

  • In the event a user has exited Tunnel from the system tray, the user may not be prompted for MFA, if enabled. To re-enable, the Tunnel service will need to be restarted, either manually or via system reboot. Note that exiting Tunnel from the system tray only impacts MFA scenarios, and Tunnel will still be active and running in the background.
