What’s new in XenMobile Service 10.6.2

The latest version of XenMobile has these new features and improvements.

You can use security actions to restart or shut down a supervised iOS device (minimum version 10.3). Go to Manage > Devices, select the device, click Security, and then click Restart or Shut Down.

A device restarts immediately when it receives the Restart command. Passcode-locked iOS devices don’t rejoin WiFi networks after restarting, so they might not communicate with the server. A device shuts down immediately when it receives the Shut Down command.

After you place a supervised iOS device in lost mode, you can use security actions to locate or ring the device. A “ring” is the lost mode sound that Apple defines for the device.

• To locate a device that’s in lost mode:

Go to Manage > Devices, select the device, click Security, and then click Locate. The Device details page provides a status of the location request.

If the device is located, the Device details page includes a map.

• To ring a device that’s in lost mode (minimum version iOS 10.3):

Go to Manage > Devices, select the device, click Security, and then click Ring. The next time that the device connects, it rings. To stop the ring, the user clicks the power button. To stop the ring from the XenMobile console, use the Disable Lost Mode security action.

• Improved performance when importing many VPP licenses. This optimization uses multi-threading. A new XenMobile Server property, MaxNumberOfWorker, defaults to 3 (threads). If you need further optimization, you can increase the number of threads. However, with a larger number of threads, such as 6, a VPP import results in very high CPU usage.
• Configure > Apps now shows the Package ID for public app store apps and enterprise apps

• Alphabetized resource lists for delivery groups. In Configure > Delivery Groups, all resource lists and search results appear in alphabetical order.

• On the Manage > Devices and Manage > Users pages, dates now appear in the 24-hour format, dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss. Dates reflect the local time zone for devices and users.
• In the XenMobile console, all references to Mac OS X, OS X, OSX, MACOSX, and MacOS are now macOS.

The XenMobile Public API for REST Services now includes the following APIs:

• Get Public Store App by container ID
• Add New Public Store App
• Update Public Store App
• Add Public Store App platform data
• Delete Public Store App platform data
• Update Public Store App platform data

For the device notification REST services, you can now notify a device by using the device ID, without requiring XenMobile to send a token.

For details, see XenMobile Public API for REST Services.

If you give the USER role any of the following RBAC permissions, the user can modify an administrator account:

• Local Users and Groups > Add/Delete Local Users
• Local Users and Groups > Edit Local User

When you click Export on the Manage > Users page: If there are more than 10,000 users, the download takes a very long time.

You might have intermittent difficulties accessing the XenMobile Server console, because of high memory usage.
