Feature flag
This article discusses feature flag management and the various Citrix Workspace apps that support feature flags.
Feature flag management
If an issue occurs with Citrix Workspace app in production, we can disable an affected feature dynamically in Citrix Workspace app even after the feature is shipped. To do so, we use feature flags and a third-party service called LaunchDarkly. You do not need to make any configurations to enable traffic to LaunchDarkly, except when you have a firewall or proxy blocking outbound traffic. In that case, you enable traffic to LaunchDarkly via specific URLs or IP addresses, depending on your policy requirements.
The following table calls out the various apps that support feature flags and the release versions in which feature flags were introduced in these apps.
