Windows and Android certified

Chrome 35 is certified for web-based content with Oracle EBS 12.2.4 and 12.1.3 on the following platforms:

  • Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Android 4.1 and higher

Java / Forms not supported

This certification covers web-based (OA Framework / HTML) E-Business Suite product modules only. 

Google is expected to phase out Chrome’s support for Java “before the end of 2014.”  Once that occurs, Forms / Java-based EBS product modules and applets will not be compatible with Google Chrome.  

For details about Chrome’s upcoming inability to run Java, see:

Support implications of Google Chrome’s rapid release cycle

In 2011, Mozilla switched Firefox to a rapid release cycle with a new release coming out every six weeks.  Most enterprises (including Oracle) can’t keep up with that deployment rate, so we switched our E-Business Suite + Firefox certification track to Mozilla’sExtended Support Release (ESR) channel. Mozilla’s ESR releases come out every 12 months.

Chrome is also released on a rapid release cycle.  Chrome updates average out to a new release every six to eight weeks. Google does not offer an equivalent of Mozilla’s annually-updated ESR option for Chrome. 

Oracle is unable to test every new version of Chrome with every EBS release every eight weeks. We expected that we will certify selected Chrome releases on an ongoing basis.

We are also unable to test Chrome on all Android versions on all Android devices.  We primarily test Chrome on Samsung and Nexus devices running Android 4.1 and higher.

If you report an issue with a later version of Chrome that we have not documented, you may be advised to:

  • Use IE or Firefox as a backup browser (Windows clients)
  • Wait for the next version of Chrome (Android clients)
  • Consult with your device vendor (e.g. for issues that cannot be reproduced on Samsung or Nexus devices)
