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 requires a slightly different registration process for the ToDo and Companion applications on iOS 8 devices.
Problem conclusion
This Notes Traveler server APAR is required to support the registration of new installations of Traveler Companion and ToDo applications on iOS 8 devices.
Temporary fix
This fix is included in Notes Traveler 8.5.3 UP2 IF7, 9.0.0.1 If7 and 9.0.1 IF6 and will be included in any future releases. See this technote for the latest maintenance infomation: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019529
