You cannot upgrade to version 3.12 of VCS for iOS without first upgrading your VMP Server to version 5.6 or later.

This release includes the following new and enhanced features and functionality.

• VCS call improvements

  The Vocera call experience has been improved to more closely match the behavior of your device when in a cellular call. Improvements have been made to the behavior when the app is in use and when the app is in the background.

This release includes the following important changes.

• Incoming cellular calls no longer automatically interrupt Vocera calls

  When you are using VCS for Apple iOS, you are in a Vocera call, and you receive an incoming cellular call, the Vocera call is now no longer automatically placed on hold. You can choose whether you want to accept or reject the incoming cellular call.

You must be using a supported device and operating system to be able to run Vocera Collaboration Suite.

This release includes the following fixes.

• VCS-21120 This version of VCS is compatible with eSIMs on iOS devices.

This release includes the following known issues and limitations for versions of the Vocera Collaboration Suite running on Apple iOS operating systems.

• VCS-18273 If you receive a notification of an urgent or high priority message while in a Vocera call or cellular call, the notification does not continue after the call is terminated. This is a known issue with the Apple iOS operating system.

• VCS-19053 The incoming notification for a new message is not displayed when you are in the face ID pop up screen. If you lock the screen or the timeout interval is reached, the message is displayed. This is an iOS limitation.

• VCS-20337 If your device is running iOS version 15.0.2 and you install VCS for the first time on the device, messages may be received silently without a notification tone. Terminating the app and restarting it will correct this issue, as will updating to iOS 15.1 or later. This problem occurs on iOS 15.0.2 only.
