Welcome to our September 2018 MobileCaddy Trust update, designed to keep you up to speed with all the latest mobile OS releases and new versions, cover anything relevant which is new with the Salesforce platform, and offer a look ahead to forthcoming changes or issues which will be important for you to keep an eye on.
Android P was released on the 6th August with no issues or updates needed for MobileCaddy applications. The rollout was initially only for the Pixel devices, so we expect to see relatively few instances of Android P in the wild, and as can be seen by this official graphic the Pie doesn’t even register yet (as of Sept 28th), which means usage is < 0.1%
The first sandbox orgs were updated to Winter ‘19 on the 8th of Sept. MobileCaddy had been testing against this major release since it first appeared in pre-release orgs, and we’re pleased to announce that as of the time of writing no action is required for MobileCaddy apps to continue to run as expected
We expect to see the first production orgs updated on the 6th of October, and we’ll be monitoring the patch releases right through this period.
Salesforce have put together a handy Google Calendar of all date, this can be accessed at https://sfdc.co/Winter19_calendar.
Occasionally there are critical updates (CRUCs) released by Salesforce that may impact the running of MobileCaddy applications. When these are seen we request that partners do not activate them prior to them being “green lighted” by us.
There is currently 1 critical updates of note, that we request are not activated until they’ve been through our QA processes.
From time-to-time, Salesforce undertakes a maintenance operation called an Instance Refresh. This is performed for various reason, but primarily to maintain good performance. As part of this your org may be moved to a new data center (note this is not an “Org Migration” – yes, silly naming, we know). More information on this, and steps that might be needed, can be found in this Salesforce Help Document.
