Mobile Diagnostics and Erasure version 4.7.0 - Release notes
Features:
iOS Factory Reset/Erasures and Android Factory Reset/Erasures are now significantly faster!
Enhanced Android factory reset/erasure speeds are applicable to newer Android devices.
Older devices will still take the typical amount of time to complete.
PHEN-6393 - USDK Based Diagnostics.
In this release we are introducing our uSDK based diagnostics.
Not only is the UI/UX significantly improved, but this is extremely useful for customers who also use the FOH (front of house) Blancco Mobile Solutions application. Because the underlying tests are the same the results from either product can be considered throughout the device journey.
Choosing between the default diagnostics application Legacy (3.9.6)” or the uSDK based diagnostic application “Latest (4.1)” is available in System Admin Settings.
It is important to note that any future feature requests will apply only to the uSDK application and not the legacy application. The legacy application will still be supported for next several months but will be deprecated at a future date.
There are Recipero and Prolog UI option changes which may impact existing customer workflows.
A UI warning in BMDE alerting customers to the change pops-up when the user logs in to 4.7 for the first time.
Pop-up behavior is based on the user’s Prolog, Recipero, and Activation Lock settings and is only present if applicable. The pop-up is no longer shown once “I Understand” is clicked.
We encourage anyone experiencing issues related to this change to visit our Blancco Technical Support Portal and create a case: https://support.blancco.com/
Apple Watch Series 4, 5, and 6.
We have expanded support of our Apple Watch guided erasure and asset report solution to now include Apple Watch Series 4, 5, and 6.
This requires the use of the iBUS S4/5 3rd party tool for the connection.
PHEN-6031 - Hub Management – Abstract Hub Naming.
Users can now maintain the slot view settings when creating new users (and/or ability to export/import them).
This feature makes it much easier to design layouts that match the workstation thus making it much easier to quickly identify devices.
PHEN-5662 - Download Manager.
Whenever an iOS firmware update fails to completely download it will now be possible to continue the download from the previous stopping point rather than to start from the beginning.
PHEN-6116 - iOS Set-up Enhancement to See if iOS Set-up Failed During the Process.
Previously when the iOS Setup node was used in a workflow the user couldn’t see why it failed during the process.
With this feature the user will be able to determine the reason for failure.
PHEN-6357 - Allowing Variables in SSID & Password in iOS Setup Node.
Allowing variables in this field makes it easier for processors that have more than one network in their warehouse.

An on-screen notification for an FMiP Locked device can now be shown similar to the existing alert for a Google Locked device.
PHEN-3305 - Upload Erasure/Diag Report Started on One BMDE Machine to Another Machine.
Device running diagnostics can now upload the diagnostics results to a different port or even a different machine running the diagnostics node in the workflow.
