Fixes and other changes
RASP-2791: False positives for screen mirroring or sharing on certain Xiaomi devices
Description: On certain Xiaomi devices running Android 13 and/or MIUI 14, false positive screen mirroring detection has occurred. To fix this issue, we have added a new parameter, Additional Display Name. This allows you to add a trusted display and so avoid false positive screen mirroring or screen sharing detection.

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 new Android versions
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.
