LO81842: IOS COMPANION AND TO DO APPS ON IOS8 FUNCTIONS LIMITED W/O IOS8 RECOGNITION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With Apple changing the iOS8 DeviceId to no longer start with
  "Appl", some Companion and To Do flows are not functioning
  properly as the device is not longer recognized as an iOS8
  device in the Companion and To Do flows with the new DeviceId.
  This causes issues in handling prevent copy mails, attachments
  being limited to the max admin setting when they should not be,
  out of office not being recognized as supported, and possibly
  other issues.  This change will fix the recognition of iOS8 with
   the new DeviceId such that the existing functions work as they
  did before.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• A change in the generation of device ID on Apple iOS 8 devices

  registration of new installations of Traveler Companion and ToDo
  applications on iOS 8 devices.
