Shared by Karla β€’ February 25, 2026

We want to inform you that Skype for macOS has been removed from the Applivery macOS App Catalog.

Microsoft officially discontinued support for Skype over a year ago and transitioned its communication platform to Microsoft Teams, which is now the recommended and actively maintained solution.

πŸ”Ž What This Means

  • ❌ Skype for macOS is no longer available in the catalog
  • πŸ”„ Microsoft Teams is the supported alternative
  • πŸ› οΈ Existing deployments of Skype will not receive updates or support

We strongly recommend migrating any remaining Skype workflows to Microsoft Teams or another alternative solution to ensure continued functionality, security, and support.

πŸ“± New Android Policy Controls: eSIM Management & System Update Compliance

Karla avatar
Shared by Karla β€’ February 16, 2026

We’re introducing new Android policy-level configurations powered by the latest Android Management API (AMAPI) updates.

These enhancements provide administrators with greater control over connectivity and system update enforcement on company-owned devices running Android 15 and above.

πŸ” Control User-Initiated eSIM Additions

Policy: userInitiatedAddEsimSettings

This setting allows IT administrators to define whether end users can add eSIM profiles on corporate-owned devices.

Key highlights:

  • 🎯 Enables or restricts user-initiated eSIM additions.
  • 🏒 Applies to company-owned devices only.
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Prevents unauthorized eSIM configurations.

This ensures tighter governance over mobile connectivity and reduces the risk of unapproved carrier profiles being installed.

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Youcan learn more about userInitiatedAddEsimSettings by following this link.

⏱️ Enforce System Update Compliance

Policy: allowedDaysWithoutUpdate

Part of the System Update configuration object in AMAPI, this setting enforces update compliance policies across managed devices.

Key highlights:

  • πŸ“Œ Defines the maximum number of consecutive days a device may go without installing a system update.
  • πŸ”’ Accepts integer values greater than zero.
  • ⚠️ Flags devices as non-compliant if the threshold is exceeded.

This prevents devices from indefinitely postponing critical OS and security patches, helping maintain operational integrity and network security.

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Youcan learn more about allowedDaysWithoutUpdate by following this link.

πŸ”Ž Why This Matters

With these new controls, organizations gain fine-grained governance over both device connectivity and update compliance, strengthening security posture while maintaining centralized policy enforcement.
