In a previous advisory, Citrix notified customers about a problem wherein files written onto an iOS 9 device by XenMobile-managed mobile apps did not use Citrix encryption. A solution to this issue is now available as part of the latest MDX Toolkit 10.2.1. For details, see . Note that when you update apps with the MDX Toolkit 10.2.1, users simply update their apps from the enterprise store. They do not need to uninstall and reinstall the apps.
This solution provides the same level of encryption supported on iOS 8. The XenMobile MDX policies that Citrix created in the MDX Toolkit 10.2 to provide additional security for application files support with iOS 9 are still available but have been turned off by default. It is not necessary to enforce a device passcode on iOS 9 devices to take advantage of Citrix encryption provided with the MDX Toolkit 10.2.1.
Citrix recommends that customers update to the latest 10.2.1 version of Worx Home and update version 10.2 of Worx apps and enterprise apps with the MDX Toolkit 10.2.1. What's New in the MDX Toolkit 10.2.1
