What's new in GoTo Resolve MDM
6 March - Alternative marketplace restriction for iOS (EU only) and fix to patch management issue on Mac devices
The latest release includes several updates to the product with the below-listed improvements that are visible to the users.
Apple introduces support for third-party app stores, the alternative app marketplaces, for the EU markets. From iOS version 17.4 onwards, iPhone supports app downloads from these platforms. However, this ability might raise some security concerns, which is why this product release brings a new configuration profile to deny the marketplace app installation.
To add a new iOS configuration, go to
. Choose Restrictions and select the Device functionality tab from there.- Fixed an issue with the patch management where, on some occasions, the update to macOS version 14.3.1 failed.
- Finetuned the design of the Subscription plan page.
- The Devices by category widget on Dashboard now supports more category values.
22 February - New version for Android client and improvement to Custom configurations
We have released a new Android client, version 2.10.17 with some other enhancements.
The release fixes the following Android-related issues:
- Work profile creation failed, and a device was set to legacy management mode when enrolling the device with the client downloaded from the Google Play Store.
- The device serial number information in the Miradore client's UI wasn't shown properly on Samsung devices.
- Failed Knox restriction deployments for COPE devices got stuck in the Waiting status instead of Failed with an error description. This was an issue especially with Samsung devices.

Google has identified an issue with Android 14 where certain configuration settings on a device are permanently applied. The configurations are impacted if they are deployed before:
- The OS upgrade from Android 13 to Android 14

We have implemented the workaround solution suggested by Google to prevent the permanent configuration settings when rebooting a device running Android 14.

Note: Installing applications that target SDK23 (Android 6), or lower versions, is not supported on Android 14 devices.

- If the undeploy operation was started for an app that was embedded in Android firmware, the undeployment did not finish and the status remained 'in progress'.
- The Android client's 'Disable kiosk mode' only worked with Samsung kiosk mode, now it works for generic kiosk mode as well.
- The deployment of an APK the application ID of which contained both upper and lower case letters got stuck in 'in progress' state.
- Previously, when using Zero Touch or KME enrollments, the Android client always enrolled devices in Fully managed mode, even if the Fully managed with work profile mode was selected.
- If font scaling was used on the client user interface, in some cases, the layout was incorrect.
- For COPE devices, deploying a passcode configuration profile for the lock screen with the default passcode failed when both 'Force unlock passcode' and 'Lock screen message' were enabled.
