What’s new

Citrix aims to deliver new features and product updates to Citrix Endpoint Management customers when they’re available. New releases provide more value, so there’s no reason to delay updates.

  • Rolling updates to Citrix Endpoint Management go out approximately every two weeks.
  • These updates don’t result in any downtime for your instance or device users.
  • Not every release has new features and some updates include fixes and performance enhancements.

To you, the customer, this process is transparent. We apply initial updates to Citrix internal sites only, and then to customer environments gradually. Delivering updates incrementally in waves helps to provide product quality and to maximize availability.

You also receive Citrix Endpoint Management updates and communications directly from the Citrix Endpoint Management Cloud Operations team. Those updates keep you current with new features, known issues, fixed issues, and so on.

For more details, including cloud scale, and service availability, see the Citrix Endpoint Management Service Level Agreement. To monitor service interruptions and scheduled maintenance, see the Service Health Dashboard.

Continued support for the Classic policies deprecated from Citrix ADC

Citrix recently announced the deprecation of some Classic policy-based features starting with Citrix ADC 12.0 build 56.20. The Citrix ADC deprecation notices have no impact to existing Citrix Endpoint Management integrations with NetScaler Gateway. Citrix Endpoint Management continues to support the Classic policies and no action is needed.

Before upgrading endpoints to iOS 14.5

Before upgrading any endpoint to iOS 14.5, Citrix recommends that you do the following to mitigate app crashes:

  • Upgrade Citrix Secure Mail and Citrix Secure Web to 21.2.X or higher. See Upgrade MDX or enterprise apps.
  • If you use the MDX Toolkit, wrap all third-party iOS applications with MDX Toolkit 21.3.X or higher and upgrade those apps in the Citrix Endpoint Management console. Check the MDX Toolkit download page for the latest version.

Before you upgrade an on-premises Citrix ADC to 13.0-64.35+

If you use the on-premises version of Citrix ADC and upgrade to version 13.0–64.35+: use the workaround described in Known issues in Citrix Endpoint Management 20.10.1.

Citrix Endpoint Management 24.10.0

  • Support for Azure AD group-based administration: Citrix Endpoint Management supports group-based identity authentication through Azure Active Directory (AAD) and SAML identity providers, allowing administrators to manage access at the group level using AAD group membership. This update offers greater flexibility and enhanced security through centralized group controls. While this new functionality streamlines access management, the legacy Citrix Identity login mechanism also remains available to ensure backward compatibility. For more information, see Support Azure AD Group-Based Administration for Citrix Endpoint Management.
  • Support blocking of web distributed third party apps: In Restriction policy, a new setting Web Distribution apps has been added to block the web distributed third party apps on iOS devices. This setting is applicable for iOS versions 17.5 and above. For more information see Restrictions Policy.
  • Unified Platform Experience: Citrix Endpoint Management enables a unified platform experience by providing unified navigation across Citrix products. This feature changes the location of the navigation bar in the overall user interface and adds a new left navigation bar.
  • Support for Android 15: Citrix Endpoint Management and Citrix Mobile productivity apps now supports Android Enterprise device updates to Android 15. For more information about security and privacy benefits, see the Android documentation.
  • Support for iOS 18: Citrix Endpoint Management and Citrix Mobile productivity apps are now compatible with iOS 18, but don’t currently support any new iOS 18 features.
  • Support for macOS 15: Citrix Endpoint Management and Citrix Mobile productivity apps are now compatible with macOS 15, but don’t currently support any new macOS 15 features.

  • Supports iOS 17 Return to Service: With the Return to Service feature, MDM server can send an erase command that includes Wi-Fi details and a default MDM enrollment profile to the user device. The device then automatically wipes all user data, connects to the specified Wi-Fi network, and re-enrolls itself back into the MDM server using the provided enrollment profile.

  • Support Samsung Enhanced Attestation v3: Samsung Enhanced Attestation v3 improves CEM security functionality on Samsung Knox devices. For more information see Samsung Knox Enhanced Attestation.

This feature allows you to install the previously downloaded OS updates immediately for iOS devices. For more information, see OS Update device policy for iOS.

Current known issues

Known issues in Citrix Endpoint Management 22.6.0

Intermittently, selecting all three log types (Debug, Admin Audit, User Audit) to download under Troubleshooting and Support > Logs isn’t working. Only Debug logs are being downloaded.
