App protection failure on lollipop 5.1

st
Hi, Your software ( sophos mobile security, version : 5.0.1515 (12) ) is running on an Android smartphone. It was working under Android KitKat with dalvik. As i tried an alternative runtime environment ( ART ), app protection stopped working. Now my phone is upgraded to lollipop 5.1 and the app protection component of the antivirus is not working. A password is set in the app protection component. But no more password is requested when i use an application protected by app protection. Do you plan to fix it? Yours sincerely

    This has also happened to me since the Stagefright issue patch applied to them by a recent update by Google to my Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 phones. Also note that both of these phones worked when they were using ART runtime before the patch.

    ART is a feature of Android lollipop that replaced Dalvik entirely. It cannot be turned off. I'm note sure the Sophos response is valid because of this.
