Corrected Microsoft Internet Explorer displaying checkboxes as sliders
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
Checkboxes were displaying as sliders in Microsoft Internet Explorer version11.1304.17134.0 due to Microsoft Internet Explorer returning Table pc 2.0. Since Pega HTML class includes tablet, .tablet related styles were getting picked up and displaying the checkboxes in tablet mode. To resolve this, a check has been added to pyIsTablet to evaluate correctly at runtime.

Data sync updated for use with DeferWrite
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
After upgrade, attempting a data sync from the client mobile application worked for the first object submission, but the second object failed and stayed in the list. This was traced to finish assignments running back to back when deferWrite was enabled and svcPerformFlow failed to find the assignment. To resolve this, the assignmentHandle will be passed to the activity when calling the pzSetDeferWrite activity from FinishAssignmentActionProcessor.

Resolved Clear Cache error for mobile client
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When attempting to clear local storage while logged into the Mobile Client, the error message "You need to be able to connect to the server in order to clear the storage" appeared. This was traced to the application being configured to disable a user's web session immediately after log in, and was due to the "Clear Cache" functionality failing while attempting an AJAX request to invoke the server's "pzAmIOnline" activity. While there was a workaround of using the check box "Access group requires a connection for portions of the application", this has been resolved by updating the Settings - Clear Cache functionality in order be able to detect if it's online in a different way.

Added handling for mobile SharePoint attachments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
When an application was using SharePoint to store the attachments, adding an attachment in an offline-enabled mobile app and then synching resulted in the mobile app crashing if the user re-logged in and launched the same work object. This was due to the attachment handling. Attachments are downloaded during synchronization and they are base64 encoded: when a mobile phone processes the synchronization response, it decodes the base64 encoded attachment and saves the data in internal storage. In this scenario, attachments retrieved from SharePoint (REST Service) use a base64 conditional encoding that is different than in case Repositories or Pega Database storage. To resolve this, a check has been added to determine whether the base64 text contains newline characters, and if so the text is merged into one line.

Mobile app language remains consistent after data sync
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
When using a Field Service Mobile App where the locale of all workers was set to nl_NL, the UI was intermittently flipping from NL to EN and and back again. This was traced to the locale of the requestor (field worker) being lost during synchronization of the mobile app data to the server, causing the UI to fall back to the default value of EN. This has been resolved by ensuring the requestor always uses the chosen locale for the operator.

Mobile logging updated for data page required parameters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After upgrade, the number of warnings increased substantially in the mobile app log file for D_Pages, specifying "Required parameter X for data page X cannot be blank." This was traced to the forced logging related to missing required parameters for Parameterized DataPages during DeltaSyncs. In order to increase the value of the logging, the process has been moved from being called before packaging the Data Page to being printed later in packaging code and set to warn only about any unsupported data page configuration with required parameters.

Hidden Question pages and answers will be saved to DB
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After a question page was shown and some values were entered, going back to the question and reverting an option caused the question page to not be visible, but the answer values persisted in the clipboard and were eventually saved into the database. This was a missed use case for Question page smart shapes, and has been resolved by updating the pzSetQuestionPageParams data transform so that whenever a question page is evaluated to either to show/hide, when the question page visibility is set to false and the pyClearAnswerValuesWhenQPHidden 'when' rule is overridden, the corresponding values will be wiped from the clipboard and only the required values will be saved to the database. However, please note this is not supported for branching logic and visibility conditions should be used instead.
