Fixes and other changes
Changes in configuration options
Description: The following configuration options are deprecated and have been removed:
exitOnEmulatorURL
There was no guarantee that this URL was triggered even though the application may have been running in an emulator. It was recommended to not use this option.
exitOnRepackagingURL
There was no guarantee that this URL was triggered even though the application may have been repackaged. It was recommended to not use this option.
The default value for exitOnRooting has been changed to false. If you want to exit the application upon detection of a rooted device, you must explicitly set this value to true.
Known limitations
The limitations described here have not yet been solved for the current Mobile Application Shielding version. Possible workarounds are described where available.
Android App Bundles
The OneSpan Customer Portal support for Android App Bundles does not yet include instant-enabled app bundles.
Detection of root hiding tool on Android 9 and later
Due to the nature of root hiding tools and the increasing restrictions Android imposes on applications as of Android 9, OneSpan Mobile Application Shielding may not be able to reliably detect a rooted device that uses root hiding tools.
