Kobiton 4.18.3S Release Notes

February 18, 2025

This release brings improvements and fixes to deviceConnect while still ensuring the best compatibility with 4.18S portal.

If the standalone environment is already running 4.18S, only the software on the Mac mini hosts needs updating.

New OS Support

This release adds support for the following:

  • iOS/iPadOS 18.3.1

  • iOS/iPadOS 18.4

Known issues:

  • iOS/iPadOS 18.4 only:

    • Cannot set time zone during a manual session for iOS devices (works with iPadOS devices).

    • The cleanup policy does not remove all signed-in accounts in the Mail app.

  • Both iOS/iPadOS 18.3.1 and 18.4:

    • (For passcode-enabled organizations only) Starting a manual session on a locked device can leave it stuck on the lock screen. To unlock it, press the power button twice, then swipe up from the bottom of the lock screen.

    • The cleanup policy does not reset language and view mode to the default values (English for language, Standard for view mode).

General Improvements and Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the iOS/iPadOS Developer Disk Images (DDI) did not automatically remount after an update, resulting in the following error:

    Can't find iOS device <UDID> with BoardID <number> and ChipID <number> in DDI BuildManifest.plist. Xcode may need to be updated.
  • Improve the performance when there are more than four concurrent sessions with video capture enabled.

  • Automatically disable Google Play Protect scanning as it can cause the manual session to become unresponsive for Android devices.
