Hi 

prinzchristian ,

It happened even in the past with other releases..

I guess after installing patch 1 the system searches for DLLs into a different folder.  Please check in *Common Files*  and in the ShareRoot whether you find its..

Could be is not related with security patches code.

Keep us updated.

Thanks both of you, seems like the extension issue has been addressed after your recommended fix in Aug 2023 Patch 16.

Hello Qlik team,

I recently applied the May 2024 Patch 10 to all our servers and now the mobile app will not open apps.

After logging in, you can see the streams and the apps. Opening any app leaves you with blank screen. I am not a 100% sure the patch caused the issue but it is the only thing that has changed recently. The mobile app was working before the update. Does not matter whether it is Android or IOS

Best regards.

Hi, 

Did you upgrade the mobile app too ? 

Regards

[M_B]

Hello @mpc,

I looked up the app on the Google play store but the is no update. I am using the "Qlik Sense Client-Managed" app.

Hello M_B, 

I encountered with the same issue some days ago, the customer is running May 2024 Patch 9,

Hence, it seems that the issue isn't referring to Patch 10, I'm still investigate the issue.

Thanks @Sonja_Bauernfeind  and @Katie_Davis for great instructions on resolving the viz extension issue! Let us know when this is resolved or integrated into the patches themselves.

@Sonja_Bauernfeind  similar to what CJ said, please provide an ETA on when we can expect the patch that includes the viz fix.  This will prevent us from updating clients twice.
