What's new in AppSealing version 2.17.0.0
Released on 12th Aug 2019
Welcome to the Aug 2019 release of AppSealing’s new version 2.17.0.0. There are a number of improvements in this version that we hope you will like, some of the key highlights include:
- App life cycle in background improved.
AppSealing keeps surveilling hacking attacks while the app. is running in the background. This activity occupies resources of devices which potentially results in unavailability of background foreground transition of the apps. To prevent this annoying user experience, we have improved the occupancy rate of the resources with the same security level while in the background mode.
- Security module size decreased
AppSealing security service once deployed increases the app size to 2-4 MB but in some cases, it was seen that it used to go higher due to the size of the DLL where we applied encryption. App size is considered to be the most sensitive part in some regions where the users have limited bandwidth and memory size on their devices. This improvement will keep the app size stable even after applying AppSealing service in Asia Pacific, Africa, and South America region.
- Other Fixes with the latest version
- App. Blackout fixed
App. blackout bugs reported by specific users who have Android N Galaxy note5, s6-edge, s6 have been fixed.
- AWS java library compatibility fixed
