ServiceNow customers are encouraged to download this latest version from the Apple App Store. Additionally, customers should consider exploring newer ServiceNow mobile apps—Mobile Agent, Now Mobile, Mobile Onboarding, and Now Support—for enhanced features and capabilities beyond Mobile Classic.
Fixed Issues and Practical Impact
- Live Feed Attachment Issue (PRB709271): Previously, attaching images via the live feed’s paperclip icon caused the app to return to the home page without allowing image selection. This release fixes that behavior, ensuring users can successfully attach images from the camera, photo library, or iCloud within the live feed.
- Related List Query Breadcrumb Rendering (PRB709786): On iPhone, related list query breadcrumbs were incorrectly displayed as empty spaces, causing confusion. The update ensures breadcrumbs now display meaningful information such as "Related List condition," improving navigation clarity in filtered record lists.
- Attachment Access on Fuji Instances (PRB712207): Users running Fuji instances faced issues accessing or downloading attachments on the iPhone app. This release restores the ability to interact with attachments in incidents, ensuring seamless file access.
- SSO Flow Session Timeout Handling (PRB713927): The app now correctly ignores instance session timeout URLs during the SSO login flow. This resolves login failures when redirects to local session timeout pages previously interrupted the SSO process, allowing users to complete authentication successfully via their external identity providers.
What Customers Can Expect
- Improved user experience when attaching images in live feeds without unexpected app navigation.
- Clear and accurate display of related list query filters on iPhone, enhancing usability of filtered record modules.
- Reliable access and download of attachments on iPhone, including instances running Fuji releases.
- Smoother and more robust single sign-on login flows that handle session timeouts gracefully, reducing login errors.
By updating to Mobile Classic iOS v4.0, ServiceNow customers will benefit from these targeted fixes, resulting in a more stable and functional mobile experience aligned with core ServiceNow workflows.
