    Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for testing a wireless device configured to use an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) and excluding a removable UICC card. A test apparatus processes application protocol data units (APDUs) for conformance with a standardized test specification, where the APDUs are provided by an eSIM command handler client application that interfaces with a baseband processor in communication with the eUICC that includes test profiles with test applets.

    Abstract: This application describes techniques for dynamic feature-dependent electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profile provisioning for wireless devices, including provisioning of device-compatible eSIM profiles and mitigation of provisioned device-incompatible eSIM profiles. A wireless device can provide information regarding additional device capabilities indicating support (or lack thereof) for optional cellular wireless standard features to a provisioning server, which can select an eSIM profile matched to the wireless device. In some cases, a wireless device detects an error condition resulting from enabling a device-incompatible eSIM profile on an embedded universal circuit card (eUICC) of the wireless device, disables the errant eSIM profile, and notifies a provisioning server regarding the error condition. The provisioning server can account for the device compatibility when providing additional eSIM profiles to the wireless device.

    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing communication with wireless devices that have been flagged due to certain activity. In particular, the techniques effectively eliminate unnecessary interactions and enable enhanced user feedback when wireless devices that have been flagged are attempting to interact with mobile network operators (MNOs). The techniques can be implemented by a variety of entities to achieve different and efficient results under various scenarios. Such entities can include, for example, i) equipment identity registries that track unique identifiers of wireless devices that have been flagged due to certain activity, ii) MNO servers, such as SM-DP+ servers, and iii) wireless devices. Additionally, individual components within wireless devices can implement the techniques variously, including using issuer security domain root (ISD-R) components, local profile assistants (LPAs), electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) components, and/or baseband components included in the wireless devices.
