Important Notice Regarding the i-Reporter App

This is a reminder regarding cases where re-authentication of your device is required, as the deadline is approaching.
We kindly ask affected users to check once again to ensure they have not forgotten to update.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your cooperation.



*Please be sure to check this information as it may affect your use of the service. We have an important notice for customers using the iOS / iPadOS app versions listed below and who meet certain conditions.


Your i-Reporter app (iOS / iPadOS) is,

Case①：Customers who always update to the latest version and operate the system
→Not applicable, so no action is required.

Case②：Customers who have been using same version since the beginning and no intention of updating in the future too
→Not applicable for now, so no action is required so far.
However, you need to be careful when you want to update the i-Reporter app version, such as the OS update is required due to the expiration of Apple support for iOS or iPadOS. When you update the OS to the latest version, you also need to update the i-Reporter app version, and this issue will affect your device at that time.

Case③：Customers who are now using a version (8.1.23120 or earlier) that was released prior to December 5, 2023, and plan to upgrade to the latest version after December 31, 2024
→Affected by this issue. Please take the measures mentioned below.

Case④：Customers who are using the version released on December 5, 2023 or later (8.1.23120) but have never logged in to the ConMas Server from your i-Reporter app.
→Affected by this issue. Please take the measures mentioned below.
Ex. i-Reporter app was already installed in your iOS / iPad OS device during December 5, 2023 to December 31, 2024 but has never logged in to the server.


【Affects, Measures, Workaround】

If you fall under Cases ②, ③, or ④, and update your i-Reporter app to the latest version, re-authenticate for the device is required with your iPad or iPhone. (Even if your iPad or iPhone already has authenticated before, you can not log in to the server after updating the i-Reporter app)

▼Workaround for this issue
If the following actions can be done until December 31, 2024, re-authentication for the device is not required.
・Update the i-Reporter app to the latest version
・Log in to the server


【Reason why re-authentication and login is required】

This is because the specifications of the device authentication method will be changed to strengthen security. The i-Reporter app (iOS / iPad OS app) has implemented a change to the specifications of the device authentication method for the purpose of strengthening security from version 8.1.23120 (released December 5, 2023), and the system has been automatically transferring device authentication information for devices on which the app version 8.1.23120 or earlier is installed. However, after Febrary 19, 2025, this automatic transfer will no longer be possible due to restrictions on iOS / iPadOS, so the device will be recognized as a new device and you will need to perform device authentication again.
