CAPTOR (Android) 2.1.3 Release Notes

Today marks the release of Android versions of CAPTOR for Android Enterprise, BlackBerry Dynamics, and Microsoft InTune. Here is a quick look at what has changed.

Camera Quality: This version of CAPTOR includes a big upgrade to the camera quality, resulting in sharper higher resolution photos. The actual resolution varies by device, but you will see a dramatic improvement in the photo quality. As this will increase the file size and the processing time, we added a new setting where you can revert back to the older lower quality camera in that meets your business needs.

Document Scanning: This version of CAPTOR introduces an enhanced document scanning experience. CAPTOR document scanning is programmed to work best when you use a dark contrasting background. The new document scanning mode includes the ability to switch from Automatic to Manual capture. If the app has trouble finding the edges of the page, we recommend switching to Manual capture so you can complete the scan and adjust the corners as needed. You will be able to adjust the filter from color to black & white in the document preview screen.

Backup Changes: This release marks a number of bug fixes and enhancements to the CAPTOR backup service. There is a new connection status indicator that will alert the user if the connection to the backup server drops. There is also an alert if the port required to complete a backup is blocked. We also changed the logic to skip automatic backups if the settings are not completed to minimize server traffic.

Android 10 (minimum o/s support): CAPTOR 2.1.3 requires a minimum of Android 10 on the device.

CAPTOR (IOS) 4.1.0 RELEASE NOTES

The December 2022 release of CAPTOR (iOS) includes one big new feature and a lot of improvements to backup processing. Here are the highlights:

• AI/ML Object Recognition Model. We get a lot of great user feedback on the CAPTOR Search feature, which already encompasses text found in scanned documents and photos, as well as speech detected in audio recordings. CAPTOR Search now includes objects recognized in photos. For example, searching for the word “chair” would produce any photo that includes a chair in it. This is a Beta release, and we will be updating the model periodically so that more items can be recognized. This implementation of the model is very light so that it does not hinder performance or compromise data protections. For data security reasons, the feature runs on the device without relying on cloud services, and is thus enabled by default. To disable this feature, add the app configuration key “disableimagerecognition” with value “True”.

• Backup Processing. CAPTOR supports four primary data transfer protocols (SMB, WebDAV, SFTP, and Microsoft OneDrive) for copying files to a file repository. Previously the app relied on a third party library to process files for backup. This new version introduces a native iOS function for backup processing which should be more reliable and secure. Bug fixes include deleted items backing up as “unknown files”, files missing from backup, and incoherent error messages in the backup process.

• Microsoft OneDrive. We made a lot of changes to how CAPTOR authenticates and connects with Microsoft OneDrive. The authentication library was updated to MSAL 1.2.5, we authored a custom implementation of Microsoft Graph, and now support custom authentication URLs for a variety of OneDrive for Business implementations. BlackBerry Dynamics users may be required to have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed for OneDrive authentication to succeed.

CAPTOR (iOS) 4.0.7 Release Notes

This week marks the release of CAPTOR (iOS) v 4.0.7 to coincide with the iOS 16 launch. Here are some highlights.

• iOS 16 Support. This version has been tested on iOS 16 beta builds up to the moment it was officially released on Monday.

• Improved Annotation Tools. New sizing slider for arrows, text labels, and drawing tools allows more granularity and range in the size of annotation elements.

• Improved Handling of Imported PDFs. Fixed an issue where some PDF layers were stripped out during the import process. CAPTOR now handles a wider array of PDF formats that are opened in CAPTOR.

• New Backup Status Indicators. You can now see the progress and status of files as they are being backed up. The added visibility will let users know if the connection to the backup server was lost or if there were errors in the backup process.

• Improved Startup Experience for InTune Users. Support for ADFS token authentication was added, as well as a better overall activation experience. The app still requires to be quit and restarted once the MAM account has been authenticated with secure InTune services (a feature of the InTune SDK).

• Updated EMM Partner SDKs. Each of our three integrated EMM partners released SDKs for iOS 16 compatibility and our 4.0.7 releases include the following SDK versions:

  • BlackBerry Dynamics SDK v11.0.0.116

  • MobileIron/Ivanti SDK 4.9.0

  • Microsoft InTune SDK 16.1.1

• Pasteboard Alerts/Permission. iOS 16 displays a new alert when an app attempts to access the pasteboard which gives the user the option to disallow the action. Some EMM platforms rely on access to the pasteboard to relay app configuration and policy changes to apps such as CAPTOR, and a user denying permission could lead to security and usability issues. Please contact your EMM provider if you experience a related issue as they likely have work-around solutions available.
