Apple restricted the ability for apps to capture device names in iOS 17, limiting the ability for the Roaming Client to report the device name to the Dashboard for reporting or troubleshooting.

We're evaluating other methods to restore this functionality in our next iOS Release.

I just tested the new feature to set the hostname with a variable and it worked great. Thank you!

This was remediated in v1.3.0 of the iOS RC. More info: https://dnsfilter.canny.io/changelog/10-30-october-30-ios-roaming-client-v130

With Jamf Pro we have the possibility to add the Variable $DEVICENAME to the App Config of the DNSFilter App or the Configuration Profile that configures the App. So the DNSFilter App would get the correct Devicename directly from the MDM server.

admin, have you an exemple to set $devicename in configuration profil please ?

admin

xavier that was just a suggestion to the DNSFilter developers on how they could solve that issue. It is not implemented.
