Dear All,
During the final round of testing of SAP BusinessObjects Mobile on IOS 7 GM we have observed the following issue:
After upgrading to IOS 7, you may experience an abnormal exit of the application while accessing some previously downloaded documents.
We are actively working with Apple to release a patch of Mobi as soon as possible. This patch has been necessitated because of a change in the implementation of one of the system APIs in latest builds of IOS 7.
We strongly urge users to first upgrade to this MOBI patch (5.0.7) before upgrading to IOS 7.
In case you upgrade to IOS 7 before the MoBI patch is released, you can overcome this issue by re-downloading the document (that causes any crashes) on the device.
Do reach out to us if you have any questions/concerns. We shall keep you posted on the availability of the patch in the appstore.
Regards
Srikanth

*****************************************************Updated Sep 12th *****************************************************
We tested our AppStore app (version 5.0.6) with the GM image of iOS7 that was made available yesterday and we confirm that there are no functional issue. Only couple of UI issues remain
1. Activity indicator is not seen
2. The logon popover is changed
We will be releasing a patch to fix these issues by end of September.
In summary, with the GM version of IOS 7, if the customers upgrade to IOS 7, MoBI will continue to work seamlessly with a couple of UI glitches that are not obvious and non-blocking.
Regards
Srikanth

Hello All,
We are actively working on a patch update for SAP BusinessObjects Mobile to make it iOS7 compliant. The scheduled release date for this patch is end of September, 2013. With the current version of the app, if you upgrade your device (iPad/iPhone) to iOS7, you will encounter some visual discrepancies in certain workflows. This is primarily due to the new visual design language that has Apple has introduced with iOS7.
Here is the brief summary of the issues that you will encounter:
1. Status bar of the iPad will overlap with the app tool bar
2. Visual defects in the connection popover, the prompt windows and activity indicators
3. Data alignment issues in some of the screens (connections, settings)
We will fix the issues in the next release of SAP BusinessObjects Mobile scheduled for last week of September.
We have created an SAP note for the same: 1910923
