Zebra TC20 - Black Screen in Application

We have a Zebra TC20 we are testing. We installed mobicontrol through afw#mobicontrol. Everything works well except for when we try to remote control into the device. When we pull up the app we are using. It goes into a black screen. When not in the app it doesn't show a black screen. I remember it saying privacy mode or something along those lines on the handheld screen but I wasn't staring at the handheld and I cannot get it to reproduce that message at the moment. Is there something we can do to disable this black screen.

We don't have a profile with a feature control of disable screen sharing as I saw in other forum questions. I can still interact with the screen and click on the back button and then it goes to SOTI MobiControls lock down screen. But clicking on the app again produces the black screen.

Are you using Remote View or Remote Control? Have you installed the Zebra AE plugin?

We are using remote control. I did install the Zebera AE for TC2x and Android Oreo devices. 

*Edit* I did some poking around. It does seem to be just the one app that we support that is doing this so far. I've opened up chrome, settings, play store and datawedge. They all seem to be opening just fine in remote control but... If I attempt to open up SAP Fiori. The screen goes black on the remote control (not the handheld) and I can still click on the black screen as if there is something there and the handheld will interact it's just hiding what is view-able.

We have seen this same behavior with the SAP Fiori app. It has to do with the application itself and the a FLAG_SECURE setting within the application. This also prevents taking screenshots on the device itself. The last I heard, another team member was working with the customer and the SAP team to resolve this in a future release of the app. I'll let you know if I hear anything back from them but you may want to talk to your SAP rep.
