Key Fixes in This Release
- Web Session Persistence Between Logins: Fixed an issue where web session information was incorrectly retained between different user logins, causing data such as incident state updates to show changes made by the previous user.
- Attachment Visibility on Extended sysuser Tables: Resolved a problem where attachments added via the mobile app on tables extended from sysuser were not visible in the desktop UI, and vice versa. Attachments now correctly associate with the extended table.
- Participant Selection Loading Issue: Addressed a bug where selecting a participant without access rights caused the screen to load indefinitely, improving user navigation and error handling.
- Record Navigation Behavior: Updated the app to direct users first to the record’s activity stream before the form view, ensuring related lists remain accessible even if the activity stream was previously skipped.
- Push Notification Functionality: Enhanced push notifications to support actionable links that can simultaneously direct users to specific web paths.
- Support for Initial Form Values from Query Strings: Corrected the app to properly forward query values provided by form UI actions, enabling more dynamic form behavior based on URL parameters.
- OAuth Token Refresh for SSO Users: Fixed an issue preventing the app from saving the Client Secret during Single Sign-On authentication, allowing the app to refresh expired OAuth tokens automatically.
What Customers Can Expect
By updating to Mobile Classic iOS v2.0.2, ServiceNow customers will experience improved reliability when switching users, better data consistency between mobile and desktop interfaces for attachments, and smoother participant and record navigation. The enhanced push notification capabilities and OAuth token handling improve overall user engagement and authentication security. Customers should consider exploring the newer mobile apps for access to the latest ServiceNow mobile features beyond this release.
The Mobile Classic iOS v2.0.2 release provides problem fixes.

Mobile PRB664865 |
On tables extended form sys_user, attachments made in the new mobile app appear only when viewing the record in the mobile app | When an attachment is added to a record on a table extended from sys_user using
the new mobile app, the attachment is not visible when viewing the same record in
the desktop UI. The also happens in the reverse, meaning attachments made in the
desktop UI are not visible in the mobile app. This does not appear to happen for
other extended tables, we were only able to reproduce this issue extending from
sys_user.
When looking at sys_attachment records, it appears that the attachment is attached to the sys_user table table rather than the extended. |
