Subject: General Availability Announcement for CA Mobile SDK 1.9.20 on iOS® for CA Mobile API Gateway (minor release)

On behalf of CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly announce updated releases and maintenance for our products.

Today, we are pleased to announce the availability of CA Mobile SDK V1.9.20. This minor release fixes issues discovered during the compatibility test with iOS 13 Beta.

Issues addressed in this release:

1. Problem: On iOS 13, the ASN.1 decoder has an empty sub content for ASN.1 Bit String Tag. This causes a Null Pointer exception and crashes the Mobile app

Solution:

CA Mobile SDK 1.9.20 introduces new error handling that handles the Null object for the ASN.1 Bit String Tag. 

In order to make your app compatible with the latest iOS version, you will be required to upgrade to CA Mobile SDK 1.9.20

1. Problem: iOS 13 has introduced new security requirements for TLS server certificates. Please refer to Apple Documentation for more details. Our Self-Signed Server Certificate presented in msso_config.json does not support some of the new TLS certificate requirements. This can cause the following failures when connecting to the Mobile API Gateway: 
   • Network failures
   • Application failures
   • Websites to not load in Safari in iOS 13 

Solution:

There is no change required in CA Mobile SDK.

To resolve this error, verify that the Mobile API Gateway localhost certificate includes SAN and ExtendedKeyUsage (EKU) attributes. If missing, add the SAN and ExtendedKeyUsage attributes to the certificate and re-export the MAG Configuration file (msso_config.json). Finally, share the updated file with your developers so they can reconfigure their apps and properly connect to MAG.

More details can be found by reviewing the release notes.
