SkieWhat does on latest app mean in Insights?
On latest app shows the share of devices running the most recent version of the Skie app. The Skie app updates itself with checksum verification and is rolled out in stages to chosen organisations, and can be paused. This figure shows how far a release has reached across your devices.
The Skie app on each device is what applies the rules, reports in and keeps the protections in place. Keeping it current matters, so Insights shows how many of your devices are on the newest version.
Updates arrive without anyone touching the tablets. The app updates itself, checks the file against a checksum before installing, and releases are rolled out in stages to chosen organisations. A release can be paused if something looks wrong. That is why the figure is not always full: part of an organisation may be on the new version while the rest waits for its turn or for a device to come online.
A low figure is not always a problem. During a staged release it is expected. It is worth a look if it stays low long after a release reached your organisation, because the devices that are behind are usually the ones that are not syncing. The same offline, flat-battery or Wi-Fi causes that show up in the breach centre apply here. See the releases screen for how the staging works from the Skie side.
The figure covers the Skie app only. Other apps on the device are managed through app lists and the organisation app store, and Skie does not push-install a chosen app automatically yet. That is something the team is working on.
Practical tip: when something behaves differently on a few devices, check whether they are the ones not yet on the latest app before assuming a policy fault.
