Changelog & known issues for BALTECH Mobile ID

Here, you can find the changelog as well as the known issues with the latest versions of the Mobile ID Manager and app.

Known Issues

Users who delete their apps are still displayed as Active in Mobile ID Manager

Details

Issue
When a user resets their app, the user is removed from the list in Mobile ID Manager. However, if the user doesn't reset the app, but deletes it instead, it's technically not possible to notify Mobile ID Manager about this. Thus, Mobile ID Manager keeps displaying the user as Active.

Workaround
To remove the user from the list, delete them in Mobile ID Manager. The user will first be displayed as Deletion pending, but will be removed after 24 hours. If you want to re-invite the user, use the Resend invitation option.

Mobile ID Manager being down for > 24 h will temporarily cause apps to stop working

Details

Issue
If Mobile ID Manager is down for more than 24 hours, all Mobile ID apps will be temporarily disabled. The reason is that each app needs to contact the server every 24 hours to check if it still has permissions, or if an admin has deleted the user and revoked permissions in the meantime.

Workaround
We recommend physical ID cards as a backup. As soon as Mobile ID Manager is up and running again, apps will be enabled again.

Changelog for the Mobile ID app
