KRACK (Key Reinstallation Attacks) is a security vulnerability that targets a key step in the Wi-Fi authentication protocol to break security encryption. These vulnerabilities could enable a proximate attacker (within Wi-Fi range of both the client device and the access point) to access and tamper with Wi-Fi packets over connections that are protected by WPA/WPA2 encryption.

Calling all developers targeting our mobile computing products

We would love to get your feedback to help us determine the key features required to develop and improve our developer tools portfolio.  All inputs will be taken into direct consideration by those responsible for shaping the future of our Developer Tools portfolio.

You can give your feedback in two ways:

.NET developer? Tired of the mobile developers getting all the good stuff?

Good News! Zebra just released a .NET SDK for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 and you’ll find most of the great API's from our Java SDK as well as comprehensive documentation and sample code.  This release includes everything from connection classes for network, USB, and Bluetooth(Windows 10 only), to settings and graphics functions. 

The instructions below and attached utility show how the LifeGuard patch version can be accessed in the SOTI MobiControl console which allows tracking of which patch version is applied to devices under SOTI management. Note that not all Zebra Android devices report the patch version but it should work on all devices running Lollipop or later OS builds.

In late September, Apple officially released iOS 11. With the upgrade to iOS 11 on iOS devices, we’ve seen people experience Bluetooth disconnection to Zebra Bluetooth enabled printers. The common symptom is that the app on iOS 11 device can no longer print labels suddenly, even though the printer appears as "Connected" in the settings. The user had to “forget” and reconnect  the printer in settings to resume printing. However, printing stopped again after one or two labels.

The Zebra ISV technical team has been working with developers for several years. Part of the group’s charter is to provide developer support and testing services. We created these best practices based on common issues we see regularly. We wish to provide developers with guidance on:

We are gearing up for another droidcon in San Francisco November 5-6th, 2017.   Not only is Zebra a  sponsor,  Dan Quagliana, Head of Zebra's Global Developer Relations team, will share his insight on Android security, debunking the myths of its poor reputation.  Google has made great strides and refined their tools and processes to enhance security.

Many companies have deployed mobile printers in the field with only Bluetooth connections, and to manage or monitor them remotely is a challenge. However, with Bluetooth Printer Management(BPM) we have solved this issue.
