The managed app configuration on Android now supports for rolling out up to 25 UBIK® profiles in an enterprise environment.
Some properties now need to be authenticated first before editing (Authentication Properties).
The scroll positions of property lists are now by default also remembered (just like content lists).
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 import fails on Android due to the outdated permission handling.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.
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.

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
The 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)
