FortiExplorer android - does it still work?

[FortiMax_it]

Hi, I noticed that in the most recent firmwares of Fortigate (I think from 7.0 or 7.2 onwards) many screens of the FortiExplorer program for Android do not load. The interfaces, for example, load correctly because they are displayed by the software itself:

Ok interfaces

while most of the other screens that are "rendered" by an internal browser of the program, do not load:

problem

These screens that do not work are for example all those of Fortiview and Monitor.
I tried more smartphones and more Fortigates by connecting to the local network and the problem is the same.

Hi FortiMax

What I find strange is that FortiExplorer is at version 1.12 on Android, while it is at version 4.0 on iOS.

I'd suggest to try the iOS version to see if the issue is the same.

Hey FortiMax_it,

I had a look at the FortiExplorer Go App in the Google Play store (the only FortiExplorer App I could find) on my own android mobile, and it says it's compatible with FortiOS version 7.4.1 and higher. Is that the same FortiExplorer app on Android you're referring to?

"FortiExplorer" 1.12.0 on Android + FortiOS 7.0.15, personal experience:

FortiView panels do work, but take a little while to load, presumably because it defaults to pulling info from FortiCloud and doesn't let me switch to local logs.

At a glance, it looks like the app is abandoned (last update 2022), FortiExplorer Go seems to be the intended replacement?
