Notes on App Name

To give our users more time to prepare for major updates, we have now created a new app called UBIK+ in the stores. The idea is the following:

• When a major version is released, it first gets released as UBIK+;
• UBIK and UBIK+ are two separate apps and can be installed at the same time (they also have independent app data);
• While users are slowing migrating their app data and setups to the new major version (UBIK+), the old UBIK app will continue to work unaffected;
• After a certain period of time before the next major version gets released, the current major version will also be released as UBIK, replacing the old app;
• When the next major version is released, the same cycle repeats.

4.0.13 on 2022-02-24 App Center

• Xamarin Android now supports managed app configuration for rolling out up to 9 UBIK^® profiles in an enterprise environment.
• Property direct editing. However, unlike in the UWP 4.0 client, direct editing is not fully enabled by default due to the limited size of the device screen.

• The app's default profile is now only generated during app startup when no other profiles are detected.
• Fixed an issue where the Logout button sometimes disappeared.
• Fixed an issue where unnecessary messages are logged. ("Message is null")
• Fixed an issue where the SetPropertyValueCommand always saves changes regardless of the AutoSave parameter value.

Known issues

• Sometimes, objects shift their positions in the lists after being edited. We found out that this is related to the 3rd party list control we use and are considering replacing it. However, this will take some more time in order to make all features we build around the control still function.
