Will CITRIX Workspace and CITRIX viewer work with the M1 Chips?

 

[fab5freddy]

thanks for any advice.

I’m wondering how well Citrix works as well

 

[tlab]

This thread on the Citrix forums suggests it works well: https://discussions.citrix.com/topi...-on-new-apple-hardware-with-apple-silicon-m1/

Not surprising given the iOS version of Workspace has run very well for years (I even use it on my iPhone occasionally when I'm away from my desk and need to access something urgently).

kk thanks

This is good news. 😀

I don't think the native version is out yet but I used the normal version today for work and it performed way better than my 2016 MBP.

 

[fab5freddy]

sounds promising.

Ditto, connected to my workplace for doing clinic from home all morning yesterday and performed great.

Just got a M1 MBA today. One of the first things I installed is Citrix Workspace App (for work). Tested and works well!

I’m curious for this type of stuff as well.

All things being equal, if it’s not native, it will probably take a few bounces to start up, but will probably work very well.

Considering I won’t be running Windows anytime soon (maybe?), being able to still run a Citrix Session of my Windows machine from work will be a life saver. Looking forward to seeing how well this performs over time, knowing more people are probably going to be relying on stuff like this.

Getting my Mac Mini M1 coming week, and need citrix for my work. Reading it's running good so that is great. Now hopefuly a native version is on the way and also Retina & HighDPI support would be really awesome.

I see no reason why it won't run either on par with or faster than comparable Intel Macs. That's how Rosetta 2 has been with most Intel Mac software.

Battery usage is more important for me than some extra performance, so can't wait for the m1 version 😑

Ideally I'd use the one from the iOS App Store, but only the Mac rosetta version is available.

That sounds promising, this app is the only hesitation I have from buying an M1 laptop. Maybe I can give it a shot for a week or so and see how it holds up...

Good news all around is that Apple’s return policy is excellent.

Definitely! And I have to order it directly from Apple anyways, as I want the US keyboard.

Looks like Citrix has an M1 Apple Silicon Preview available:

It doesn't seem to be fully Universal/Silicon considering that Info and Activity Monitor show it as Intel based.

Is that the new preview build released today?

That's fine, as long as it works. Citrix Workspace does not take much processing power.

 

[jim2011]

Yes it is. I did notice that if I expanded Citrix Viewer in Activity Monitor that the sub-processes are Apple/Silicon based.

Those sub-processes are native Apple services, not part of Citrix.
