App performance evaluation now includes public sheets

Performance evaluation improvements now present public sheet performance measurements as part of the evaluation. App developers can now see which sheets are impeding the initial load time of an app as well as subsequent loads when sheet content should typically be cached. They can further drill down to see the top 5 slowest objects per sheet. Enhancements have also been made when measuring un-cached response times for objects in isolation. Improved isolation reduces inter-object caching for better fairness when comparing and ranking objects based on response times.

Update: Important change to JWT authorization capabilities with tenants

Customers with existing JWT (JSON Web Token) configurations now have until July 19, 2022, to update their JWT token creation code with two new attributes. These attributes were introduced to enhance the security and use of JWTs sent to Qlik Cloud tenants with configured JWT identity provider configurations. After July 18, 2022, those using JWT login methods without these additional attributes will be denied access.

Qlik highly recommends adding these attributes before July 19, 2022, to mitigate any disruption to the access and login experience for Qlik Cloud users. After this date, users will need to contact Qlik Support to have access to their JWT login restored.

For tenant administrators who implemented the JWT code and are impacted by this change, see the following tutorial for the steps to make these critical updates: Implement JWT Authorization tutorial.
