  • Infrastructure (Core, Connected Cloud, Sentry)

  • MobileIron provided apps
    • Customers using AppConnect-enabled MobileIron provided apps must upgrade to AppConnect for Android 7.1 and download and redistribute the updated apps wrapped with AppConnect Android App Wrapper 7.1 to support Android 5.0
  • Application management (Secure Apps Manager, AppConnect Android App Wrapper)
    • Customers with in-house applications must upgrade to AppConnect for Android 7.1 and re-wrap their AppConnect-enabled apps with AppConnect Android App Wrapper 7.1 to support Android 5.0
  • Third party apps distributed by MobileIron
    • Customers using AppConnect-enabled third party apps distributed by MobileIron must upgrade to AppConnect for Android 7.1 and download and redistribute the updated apps wrapped with AppConnect Android App Wrapper 7.1 to support Android 5.0
