Known issues - Diagnostics:

• For Apple devices sometimes Wi-fi test does not complete in case location permission is not enabled. Here, Apple Wi-Fi test requires location services permissions to be enabled
  (kept ON) before running the test in diagnostics app.
  • This is a mandatory step to proceed with the Wi-Fi test on app.
• Mobile diagnostic headset microphone test is crashing test application in Apple. Observed when connecting USB headset to device while test is already running. If headset USB cord is
  already connected to device prior running the headset mic test, then no issues observed.
• Hybrid Diagnostics Workflows
  • MC synchronization with diagnostic workflow is not available in this release.
  • Re-run test from diagnostics app does not get reported with updated result. User is recommended not to re-run test from diag app while using Hybrid workflows.
• For Apple Diagnostics Autofocus test, user needs to tap on screen to perform Auto focus test.
• Screen Damage Test notes: Mirror should be cleaned before use. In case of incorrect positioning of the device in front of mirror, may cause the test to be not performed. There
  should be no need to put hand to hold the device while testing with a jig. A Blancco specified jig can be used. For details contact support@blancco.com
• “Latest” Diag has issues like crashes on lower model iPhone 4S. It is recommended to use “Legacy” Diag if processor has a line catering to such Apple discontinued devices (Below O.S.
  10.3.4) For Apple O.S discontinued devices, please use Legacy Diag app version 3.9.8.3 Version can be selected from BMDE admin settings. If user needs to check Latest Diag (4.5)
  it will need to be selected in the settings options to Latest from the host.
