Citrix Workspace app 23.8.0 for iOS - Preview

What’s new

Add multiple stores using UEM [Technical Preview]

Admins can use Unified Endpoint Management solutions to configure and add multiple stores for managed iOS devices. The details for each store can be added to an XML file. This XML file can then be uploaded while configuring the app configuration policy.

Note:

Admins can add only one cloud store and multiple on-premises stores.

To add a store, admins need to add the following store details to the XML file. Admins can also restrict end users from modifying i.e. adding, deleting, or editing the store details by setting the value of the key restrict_user_store_modification to true in the XML file.

Note:

The XML file must be in a key-value format.

Important

• If the restrict_user_store_modification flag is set to true, all the existing stores are deleted before adding a new UEM configured store.

• If storeType is not provided, the default interface is treated as native.

Support for Transport Layer Security 1.3

Citrix Workspace app for iOS now supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 that boosts performance and efficiency.TLS 1.3 provides robust security with its strong cipher suites and one-time session keys.

End users can enable it on Citrix Workspace app for iOS as follows.

1. Go to Advanced settings > TLS Versions.
2. Select TLS 1.3 version.

FIDO2-based authentication

Citrix Workspace app for iOS now supports password-less authentication within a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session using FIDO2-based authentication methods. This allows users to sign in to a WebAuthn-supported website in browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge using FIDO2-supported Yubico security keys. Simply opening a WebAuthn-supported website triggers password-less authentication.

Only lightning port-based devices are supported (devices with USB-C or USB 4 ports aren’t supported). Signing in to the Citrix Workspace app or desktop session using password-less authentication isn’t supported.

For more information about the prerequisites for this feature, see Local authorization and virtual authentication using FIDO2 in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
