Admin will be provided with an option to disable Wi-Fi MAC Addresses. This will require upgrading to Core 10.8, Core 10.7.0.1 or Cloud 72 and modifying the Wi-Fi configuration.
- Shortcuts supports Managed Open In. Beginning with Core 10.8 and Cloud R72, with Shortcuts supporting open-in and with device policy set on MobileIron Admin console, when shortcuts trigger an action where data flow is not allowed because of device policy, the shortcut will stop running.
- eSIM identifier is made available on MobileIron Admin Console in device details for IT admins in Core 10.8 and Cloud R72. This feature simplifies eSIM activation for the customers as Providers/Partners can now retrieve eSIM identifiers from MobileIron’s Device Details API, which will enable seamless activation of eSIM (virtual SIM) using automated device enrollment.
