KB Highlights & Announcements Week 07:

Android work profile devices are unable to sync device and install applications when using Hub 23.01 (90888)

  • Android work profile devices are not able to communicate with Hub Services when using Hub 23.01 which prevents them from performing operations which are dependent on Hub Services like sync device, installing applications, etc.
  • This issue occurs for both fresh enrolment on Hub 23.01 and upgrade to Hub 23.01 for the customer deployments which meet the following conditions: 
    • Workspace ONE Access and Hub Services are enabled 
    • Hub Services Notifications are disabled
  • The communication to Hub Services gets broken on the affected devices which prevents them from performing operations which are dependent on Hub Services like sync device, installing applications, etc.
  • This issue is fixed in the Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub for Android 23.01.1. The issue should be resolved once the affected devices are upgraded to this Hub version.
  • If upgrading to Android 23.01.1 is not an immediate option, the affected customers can enable Hub Services Notifications through the admin console. Although, this will not recover existing impacted devices but no newly enrolled devices will see the issue.

 

“An Error has Occurred” when viewing the apps within a device list view. (90939)

  • “An Error has Occurred” is displayed when loading the Apps page under Device > List View > Device Details > Apps
