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.
 
−

'''Update: Our UBIK+ app got removed and suspended due to store policies on "duplicate content". Neither Google nor Apple will make an exception, they also did not provide any alternatives to better control the app versions for different users. Therefore, we have no other choice except to continue updating our existing UBIK app, which is expected to happen around the end of 07.2022.'''

4.1.37 on 2022-06-30 App Center

4.1.34 on 2022-06-22 App Center

  • Some UI updates including button styles, page layouts, etc.
  • It's now possible for users to request exclusive access for UBIK content to prevent others from editing it at the same time.
  • Custom UBIKContentArea templates can now be chosen automatically based on certain properties of the context object.
  • The managed app configuration on Android now supports for rolling out up to 25 UBIK® profiles in an enterprise environment.

  • Fixed an issue when scanning QR codes with line breaks on Android/iOS.
  • Fixed an issue where file (profiles, XAMLs, etc.) import fails on Android due to the outdated permission handling.
  • Fixed an issue where the root list is not updated the first time with an empty database.
  • Fixed an issue where the LaunchDocumentByReferenceCommand can potentially crash the client on non existing document files.


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.
  • Some security related improvements.
    • The app now informs the web service to terminate the user session upon logout or app closing.
    • The app no longer allows self signed server certificates.
  • UBIK® clients are now able to log all webservice communication related activities (in UBIKWebserviceDebug.log) for better trouble shooting. It can also be turned off using the EnableSyncLogging setting in the profiles.
  • UBIK® now supports In-App Camera Calibration.
  • The app's entire login page is now customizable.
    • As a result, the old feature which allows customizers to configure the background image of the login page (bg_portrait.png/bg_landscape.png) is removed. Because it only worked for Xamarin.UWP and can now be done with regular XAML customizing.
  • 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.


XAML Notes

XAML changes

Since there has been a major UI redesign in this version, quite a lot of changes in XAML code (especially bindings) are involved. We have striven to maintain backward compatibility, but some changes either are simply unavoidable or their long term benefits outweigh the efforts required this one time.

Converters

  • Under namespace UBIK.CPL.Converters, SelectiveItemToValueConverter is renamed as PropertyValueToSelectiveItemConverter to properly reflect what it does.
  • Under namespace UBIK.CPL.Converters, a new "StringToDateTimeTypesConverter" was added. It should be used when binding to a Date/Time Property on a PropertyViewModel.




UBIKContentArea

  • Changed from "Properties.Items" to "Properties.VisibleItems" in bindings because Items/AllItems now also include those system/invisible ones that users are not supposed to see.

UBIKThemes

  • Removed "Content.", "OwnerModel." from bindings in DateTemplate "UBIKPropertyItem".
  • "SetValueCommand" is no longer available and replaced with "SetPropertyValueCommand".

UBIKEditNA

  • Prefixed bindings "EnableNAOption" & "NotApplicable" with "PropertyViewModel.".

Editor related templates

IC Hint square.pngThe changes are quite extensive and, therefore, we recommended you taking the default templates from the app and re-customize them from there.

The affected list of templates include: UBIKEditDateTime, UBIKEditDouble, UBIKEditInt, UBIKEditGuid, UBIKEditGeo, UBIKEditBool, UBIKEditString.

  • Changed from "PropertyItem" to "PropertyViewModel" in bindings;
  • Prefixed bindings "EnableNAOption", "NotApplicable", "Unit" & "ShowComboBox" with "PropertyViewModel.";
  • Changed from "PropertyValue" to "PropertyViewModel.ValueItem.PropertyValue" in bindings;
  • Prefixed binding "FilterQueryResults.Items" with "PropertyViewModel."; (UBIKEditGuid)
  • Changed from "ViewGuidObjectCommand" to "NavigateToGuidCommand". (UBIKEditGuid)

Any template having ViewModel as the data context
