Authenticator

Improved

• [BIT-1567] Added the Android .apk file under Advanced Installation on the Authenticator Downloads page.
  

   

• By design, macOS asks user for permission to show Notifications only once on first application startup. Many users miss that first notification that never appears again.

  From that point, the Beyond Identity Authenticator is not allowed to display any notifications. Therefore in situations where the authenticator needs to display a notification (and is not authorized to do so with native notifications) it will open the authenticator window and display an internal Toast message. This message will include underlined text explaining how to enable notifications in macOS System Preferences.

  If users do not wish to see notifications from PA, they can configure the behavior in System Preferences.

• [BIT-188] Added a drop-down to the Camera Import screen on Windows devices to allow users to select which camera to use to scan QR codes.
  

• Beyond Identity has started a process of proxying our third-party dependency services via `byndid.com` URLs. The first service in this effort is our feature flag system, Optimizely. We now proxy optimizely via `optimizely.byndid.com`. If you have `*.byndid.com` whitelisted at this time, you do not need to do anything. However, if you whitelist individual URLs, you will need to whitelist `optimizely.byndid.com`. You should not remove `cdn.optimizely.com` from your whitelist until in your organization have moved to version 2.93.1 or later of the Beyond Identity Authenticator.
