New Features

  • Introducing Lost Mode for iOS. See something suspicious happening to your iOS device? Activate Lost Mode and lock its screen, display a lost message, and make it beep.

  • We are making application syncs more predictable. You might already know how application synchronization works when installing, updating, or downgrading applications. We’ve now expanded this behavior to app states and managed configurations. Learn more about app syncs. 
  • We’re updating the way we talk about application versions in our Application V1 APIs:
    • Version name will replace version code. 
    • Version code will replace build number. 

Now it’ll be easier to see your version name and version code. The version code must be incremented with each new version. 

If you use our Application V1 APIs in your workflows, the APIs will still return the previous payloads. You can update these

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Device graphs now appear in alphabetical order. 
  • We fixed an issue where some users were not able to view templates from the Provisioning Methods sections due to their role. Users would now be able to view templates if they have the required permissions. 
  • We fixed an issue where some users were not able to modify wallpapers or Wi-Fi access points in blueprints due to their roles. These users should now be able to modify these settings in a blueprint. 
  • The search bar is now cleared when generating a new app report. 

We’re excited to launch DevRel 157 over the coming days, and the Esper team is hard at work on the next release. Please contact Esper Support to share your thoughts on how Esper can improve future releases.
