Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * Users of Application Center on mobile devices with Windows   *
    * Phone 8.1 Update                                             *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * Since Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, the user agent string of   *
    * the web view and of the browser have changed and include the *
    * word iphone and android. Dojo thinks that the device is an   *
    * iphone. The Application Center client uses the Dojo library, *
    * hence it is affected. Furthermore, the scroll view mechanism *
    * of the web view has changed in Windows Phone 8.1, and Dojo   *
    * is not yet adapted to this.                                  *
    *                                                              *
    * The problem occurs with Windows Phone OS version             *
    * 8.10.14xxx.xxx, but not with 8.10.12xxx.xxx.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    * -                                                            *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The problems have been fixed in the latest release of Dojo. The
    Application Center client has been updated with the newest Dojo.
    
    Customers must rebuild the Application Center client XAP file
    for Windows Phone from the sources, and must install the
    upgraded applicationcenter.war (in 6.3 and later) or
    appcenterconsole.war (in 6.1 and 6.2).
