Known issues:

  • Date and Time settings are now part of First Time Setup Wizard. In case Setup Wizard at is skipped, date and time query will popup right after skip is selected.

  • New green indicator indicating sent report can be seen in Reports. Previously such indicator wasn't shown. If report send fails for some reason, report checkbox will turn red. Re-send for such report can be re-tried.
  • Currently Blancco Management Portal (BMP) backup creation can fail due the size of the backup. Reason is that BMP backup has key value limitation. Workaround to support larger backup sizes in future is under work. Such limitation does not exist in Blancco Management Console (BMC).
  • BMDE file export to USB stick is enhanced in this release (iOS firmwares, workflows etc.). In case there's experienced any issue in USB export it's recommended to use the "Click here to remove USB media" option found from BMDE Erasure view's Status bar/Login view before USB stick is de-attached.

  • Workflow auto-start works now without wait, right after reconnecting cable after previous workflow has ended. In case any reports are generated those should be cleared before reconnecting device.

  • In iOS 17, for Volume Keys test - Keys pressed quickly does not PASS the test. Once key is pressed wait for 1 second and then press other key.
  • This applies for processors using Diagnostics application for Apple with Bandwidth Scalability feature enabled. Pre-requisite is that Wi-fi setting should be turned ON and connected to network to perform. Wi-fi test has a message on app which will ask user to enable Wi-fi and connect to Wi-fi. User needs to enable Wi-fi and connect to respective network to perform test successfully.
  • Note: If users want to avoid entering password to Wi-Fi, then in the Workflows the ‘Wi-Fi Config’ node should be linked before Diagnose/Run Diagnose node. Wi-fi Config node will push Wi-fi profile in iPhone. User will need to install profile by navigating to Settings app in iPhone.
