Citrix Workspace

Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS

This release is compatible with ChromeOS versions 141. This release addresses areas that improve overall performance and stability. What’s new in 2509 - High DPI support for multiple monitors Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS supports DPI scaling for app and desktop sessions on single and multi-monitor sessions. This feature is mostly used with large-size and high‑resolution monitors to display applications, text, images, and other graphical elements in a size that can be viewed comfortably. - Loss tolerant mode for audio Starting with the 2509 release, Citrix Workspace app uses loss tolerant mode for audio redirection. This feature improves the user experience by maintaining clear audio quality for real-time streaming when users are connecting through networks with high latency and packet loss. - Enhanced Alt+ key shortcuts support in double-hop RDP scenarios Previously, Alt + key combinations such as Alt + Tab or Alt + F did not work properly in double-hop RDP sessions when using Scancode and Unicode mode. With the 2509 version, Alt + key shortcut combinations now function correctly in double-hop scenarios, providing improved keyboard interaction for nested RDP connections. - Enhanced session toolbar notch size The 2509 version of Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS features a redesigned, smaller notch in the session window that you can drag and drop to any window edge. The notch design provides an optimal size, and the cursor pointer changes when you hover over it. This update addresses user feedback about wasted screen space and replaces the unclear orange indicator with a recognizable warning icon when Connection State Indicator (CSI) detects network issues. - Google Admin Policy for blocking Global App Configuration service (GACS) With the 2509 version, administrators can block Global App Configuration service (GACS) requests using the Google Admin Policy. The attribute name is disableGACS. When you set this attribute to true, Citrix Workspace app doesn’t connect to any GACS endpoints. - Google Admin Policy for blocking feature flag requests With the 2509 version, administrators can block feature flag requests using the Google Admin Policy. The attribute name is disableFeatureFlag. When you set this attribute to true, Citrix Workspace app doesn’t connect to any feature flag endpoints. Fixed issue in 2509 - After the Wi-Fi captive portal connection, when you click the reload button of the Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS, the app fails to load the store page. - When you use Citrix Workspace app for ChromeOS, intermittently, the keyboard might not work as expected. When users press the right Meta+L shortcut to lock the screen, the right Meta key remains permanently pressed. For example, when users press the ‘A’ key, the system performs a “select all” command (CTRL+A) instead of typing the letter ‘A’. This behavior affects all keyboard inputs, making normal typing impossible. [CVADHELP-29021] - When the auto redirection USB policy is enabled, starting a new session while a previous session already claims the device can cause issues. An error message intermittently displays in the top right corner during session launch. Known issue in 2509 - There are no new known issues in this release. Limitations - When you transfer files using Client Drive Mapping functionality from your local device to the VDA and conversely, data might get corrupted. - When you start a desktop session using Citrix Workspace app, green blocks are visible on the display screen that blocks the UI. The issue might occur when you move an application window inside the launched desktop.
