What happened to Cisco Mobile Supervisor? No longer in app store.

[Mark Lyman]

Cisco Mobile Supervisor is no longer in the app store.  Is there a reason?

[Aaron Harrison]

I hadn't noticed... I've shown this a few customers but no one used it. Too limited.

What features did you like about it?

This stinks. I mainly used it for troubleshooting. Was really handy!

Hi,

no reason. It was killed silently.

If you take a look at the UCCX comp matrix, for instance, for UCCX 9.0(1), there's the following note:

Note: The Cisco Mobile Supervisor application is withdrawn from the Cisco App Store. Cisco does not provide support for Cisco Mobile Supervisor deployments.

A wild theory of mine follows: that application was actually a one-man-show. A toy to be shown on product demos, a piece of art, never understood. I actually liked it, although it was somewhat limited as Aaron has pointed out bellow. I guess the original creator of the application waved goodbye to Cisco plus now that "everything is on the web" (ie. it's easier to create a web application than to maintain a "fat" client) Cisco did not have the reason why they should keep it any longer.

If there's a CCBU person lurking around here, could you please comment on this.

Definitely sounds like a good theory... I'm working on a replacement of sorts at the moment, but with a few more use cases... and it wouldn't be IOS based.
