Launcher configuration device policy

Citrix Launcher lets you customize the user experience for Android devices deployed by XenMobile. Citrix Launcher and the Launcher Configuration device policy aren’t compatible with Android Enterprise.

You can add a Launcher Configuration policy to control these Citrix Launcher features:

Manage Android devices so that users can access only the apps that you specify.
Optionally specify a custom logo image for the Citrix Launcher icon and a custom background image for Citrix Launcher.
Specify a password that users must enter to exit the launcher.

While Citrix Launcher enables you to apply those device-level restrictions, the launcher grants users the operational flexibility they need through built-in access to device settings such as Wi-Fi settings, Bluetooth settings, and device passcode settings. Citrix Launcher isn’t intended as an extra layer of security over what the device platform already provides.

After you deploy Citrix Launcher, XenMobile installs it, replacing the default Android launcher.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.
