Fixes and other changes
TestFlight certificate renewed by Apple
Description: Apple has changed its TestFlight certificate. The current certificate expires on 31 August 2024. As a result of the App Shielding repackaging protection, new shielded builds uploaded to TestFlight are exiting on startup.
When an app is uploaded to TestFlight, Apple re-signs the app with their TestFlight certificate. The App Shielding repackaging check looks at the certificate with which the application has been signed, and if it is not a trusted certificate, the app is exited (Exit On Repackaging). By default, App Shielding trusts the TestFlight and AppStore certificates, as well as any certificates specified in the App Shielding configuration via the Application Signer Certificate option. Because Apple changed its TestFlight certificate, App Shielding does not trust it by default.
Status: This issue has been fixed. The new TestFlight certificate has been added to the list of certificates that App Shielding trusts by default.
SHIOS-2789: Fixed unexpected termination with Unity-based apps
Description: An unexpected termination occurred with Unity-based apps.
Status: This issue has been fixed.
SHIOS-2992: Improved jailbreak detection
Description: The jailbreak detection for Dopamine jailbreaks has been improved.
Known limitations
The limitations described here have not yet been solved for the current Mobile Application Shielding version. Possible workarounds are described where available.
External screen block
Blocking external screens (e.g. AirPlay) is currently not working for apps that use UISceneDelegate in iOS 13 and later.
