Support for authentication using FIDO2 when connecting to a cloud store

Starting with the 24.5.0 version, users can authenticate to Citrix Workspace app using FIDO2-based password‑less authentication when connecting to a cloud store.

For more information, see Support for authentication using FIDO2 when connecting to a cloud store.

Known issues

Known issues in 24.5.0

You might notice that the trackpad on the magic keyboard is not functioning properly in the virtual session on an iPad pro M4 device. As a workaround, you can use a external mouse (either wired USB type-C connector or Bluetooth) to navigate the screen in the virtual session. [HDX-66083]

Known issues in 24.1.0

After upgrading Citrix Workspace app for iOS to version 24.1.0, the keyboard input using the virtual keyboard in the session might fail for applications based on Oracle Java Web Start software. [CVADHELP-24645]

• After migrating to Citrix Workspace from StoreFront, the screen flickers momentarily while tapping the Next button on the Pendo guide.
