Key Fixes and Improvements
- Session Handling Fix: Resolved an issue where web session information was improperly retained between user logins, ensuring that actions performed by one user no longer appear under another user's session.
- Attachment Visibility on Extended sysuser Tables: Fixed a problem where attachments added via the mobile app on tables extended from sysuser were not visible on the desktop UI and vice versa. Attachments now correctly associate with the extended table records, improving consistency across platforms.
- Participant Access Loading Issue: Addressed an infinite loading problem when a user selects a participant they don’t have access to within an incident, enhancing navigation and user feedback.
- Record Navigation Enhancement: Adjusted the app to open the record activity stream by default before the form for all lists, ensuring users have access to related lists which were previously inaccessible if the activity stream was skipped.
- Push Notification Capabilities: Enabled push notifications to be actionable and support linking to a web path at the same time, improving user interaction possibilities from notifications.
- Form Query Parameter Support: The native iOS app now correctly supports initial form values passed via query parameters, allowing for more dynamic form behaviors triggered by UI actions.
- OAuth Token Refresh for SSO Users: Fixed an issue where the Client Secret was not saved during SSO authentication, enabling the mobile app to refresh expired OAuth tokens properly and maintain seamless single sign-on experiences.
Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers
- Improved user session integrity preventing data confusion across different users.
- Consistent attachment visibility across mobile and desktop interfaces, especially for user-related extended tables.

Web session information is being retained between logins |

Mobile PRB664865 |
On tables extended form sys_user, attachments made in the new mobile app appear only when viewing the record in the mobile app | When an attachment is added to a record on a table extended from sys_user using
the new mobile app, the attachment is not visible when viewing the same record in
the desktop UI. The also happens in the reverse, meaning attachments made in the
desktop UI are not visible in the mobile app. This does not appear to happen for
other extended tables, we were only able to reproduce this issue extending from
sys_user.
When looking at sys_attachment records, it appears that the attachment is attached to the sys_user table table rather than the extended. |
