A new version of the iOS 7 Security Settings extension is now available for System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager environments that are configured with the Windows Intune connector. This updated extension adds support for iOS 8 devices. New features include: iOS 8 added to the supported platform list, configuration settings to manage and assess the compliance on iOS 8 devices, company resource access on iOS 8 devices and the ability to define an applicability rule for applications, allowing you to deploy applications to iOS 8 devices.


If you already have the iOS 7 Security Settings extension enabled, an updated extension called iOS 7 and iOS 8 Security Settings will appear as a new item in your Configuration Manager console in the Extensions for Windows Intune node. You will also be able to see other enabled extensions in this location.


To install the updated version, select the iOS 7 and iOS 8 Security Settings extension from the list and then click Enable. You do not need to disable the older version of the extension before you enable this updated version. As the updated version is installed, the configurations you previously made for the extension are retained. Once the installation is complete, only the most recent version of the extension will display in the console.
