Citrix Virtual Delivery Agent for macOS

What’s New in 2607

Important:

macOS VDA 2607 (and future) release(s) is based on Microsoft .NET 10 runtime. You must install the Arm64 .NET Runtime 10.0 on the Mac before you install or upgrade to macOS VDA 2607:

  • macOS VDA now targets .NET 10, Microsoft’s current LTS release, for long term security servicing

  • Install the Arm64 .NET Runtime 10.0 from Microsoft official site or from the Microsoft package feed

  • The .pkg installer and the ctxinstall.sh command line installer both fail fast with an actionable message when the .NET 10.0 runtime is not found under /usr/local/share/dotnet

  • xdping now validates .NET 10 as part of its pre-checks, so a wrong runtime shows up in a support bundle instead of in a failed session launch

Citrix VDA for macOS (macOS VDA) 2607 release is another major milestone that contains lots of exciting features and critical enhancements:

  • Support for TCP BBR to help improve network throughput and latency handling in Mac VDA sessions.

  • Apple Intelligence based webcam frame interpolation/upscaling to deliver smoother webcam video experiences under challenge network

  • Migration from .NET 8 to .NET 10 to keep the platform aligned with the latest supported runtime.

  • Day-0 support for macOS 27.

  • Gateway information support for Director to improve visibility and troubleshooting.

  • CVAD 2607 LTSR & CVAD 2507 CU3 integration.

  • Many critical fixes and improvements.

In summary, 2607 is another important release that focuses on performance optimization as well as key enablers to optimize use cases. As always, we’re continuing to evolve our roadmap according to customer needs and Apple ecosystem trends.
