What will happen to the app after June 30, 2022

After June 30, 2022, Microsoft will begin to block access to the Field Service Mobile – Xamarin application, which will occur over the following months. A Message Center communication will be sent to org admins 30-days before access is restricted. Mobile application licenses will then be removed, and the Mobile Configurator will no longer be able to publish.

I currently use Dynamics Field Service On Premises with Field Service Mobile - Xamarin. What options do I have?

Field Service On Premises will be deprecated on June 30, 2022. We recommend current On-premises customers migrate to Dynamics 365 Field Service online to continue operations and support. Field Service Mobile - Xamarin won't be available for the deprecated Dynamics 365 Field Service On Premises and access will be removed in October 2022. Continued unsupported use of Field Service On Premises will require an alternative mobile solution.

Are there other resources available to learn more about the new Field Service Mobile application and migration?

Yes. See the following resources:

I have completed migration from Field Service Mobile - Xamarin. How do I remove solutions that were installed for use with that application?

After moving on to the new Field Service Mobile application, you can remove the following solutions related to the Xamarin application.

  1. msdyn_GeofenceAlerts
  2. msdyn_FSMNotifications
  3. Woodford | Resco MobileCRM Woodford

Remove the solutions in listed order to properly remove dependencies.

While removing solutions, you may encounter other dependencies. The system will inform you of these dependencies. You'll need to either delete the component or modify it to remove references to the solution you're trying to remove.
