MDX Toolkit
The Mobile Device Experience (MDX) Toolkit is an app container technology that enhances the mobile device experience and lets you prepare apps for secure deployment with Citrix Endpoint Management by adding the following information to the apps:
- The code required to support mobile app management tasks, such as provisioning, custom authentication, per-app revocation, data containment policies, data encryption, and per-app virtual private networking
- Signed security certificates
- Policy information and other Endpoint Management settings
The MDX Toolkit can securely wrap apps created within your organization or third-party mobile apps.
Recent announcements
-
Apple has announced the end of support for apps using the UIWebView API to embed web content in the public app store starting December 2020. This change directly affects the Citrix mobile productivity apps such as Secure Web and Secure Mail configured for the use of micro VPN in full tunnel mode. As part of this announcement, support for WKWebview for all Citrix mobile productivity apps is available with the release of 20.11.X.
Note:
WKWebview does not support the Tunneled – Full VPN tunneling method. Customers using Tunneled – Web SSO (Secure Browse) as their microVPN will not be affected. Admins must switch tunneling methods to Tunneled – Web SSO (Secure Browse).
