Feature

Description

N/A

The Cortex XDR agent app for iOS is not available when the Apple App Store is accessed from the People's Republic of China.

Network Shield module

Automatic registration, facilitated by providing the distributionID in the payload configuration profile for network filtering, is only supported in iOS version 17 or higher.

Safari Safeguard module

For Cortex XDR apps earlier than version 8.5.0, an issue in iOS versions 17.4 and higher causes the Cortex XDR agent's Safari Safeguard module, and anything based on Safari Web Extensions, to stop working after a short period of time. Apple has confirmed the issue, but a complete fix resolving the issue has not been released yet.

Cortex XDR 8.5.0 includes a fix with a workaround for the issue that Apple introduced in iOS 17.4. With this fix, Safari Safeguard is now expected to work on all supported iOS versions.
