Release Notes
Client SDK for macOS 25.06.0
Important Notes and Requirements
-
Use of Anyware Client SDK requires a separate agreement with HP Anwyare.
-
The SDK is intended for use cases where client customizations are required and when Anyware Software Clients, PCoIP Zero Clients, and PCoIP Mobile Clients are not sufficient.
-
The SDK is intended for customers with software development skills and knowledge, as well as a sound understanding of virtualization systems.
Version 25.06.0 of the Anyware Client SDK for macOS fixes known issues, bugs and stability enhancements. It also maintains version parity with Anyware Client for macOS 25.06. There are no new features in this release.
Anyware Client Rejected Previously Valid Certificates
Some valid certificates that were previously validated by Anyware Client were identified as invalid in 25.03.2. As a result, sessions could not be established. This issue has now been fixed.
Issue with Custom Certificate Chain Validation in Anyware Client 25.03.1
Anyware Client 25.03.1 failed to validate certain custom certificate chains that had previously been validated. This issue has now been fixed.
Session Connection no longer fails when Certificate Serial Number is 0
25.03.1 Anyware Clients and Agents will now accept a broker certificates where a certificate in the chain contains Serial Number 0 (zero). This fixes a problem where connections using these certificates would fail during session establishment.
Issue with Microphone Connected In-Session on macOS Agent
Microphones connected after the session has been established with a macOS Agent should now function as expected, and no longer result in excessively large log files.
Client no longer crashes during session disconnection
This issue has been resolved.
CPU not supporting h.264 will not crash the client when the host has PCoIP Ultra enabled
When the client machine's CPU does not support h.264, the client no longer crashes when connecting to a host with Ultra enabled.
USB WiFi adaptors cannot be forwarded to the host
USB WiFi adaptors can no longer be forwarded to the host.
macOS Client May Fail to Reconnect after Sleep or Extended Lock-Screen
If your macOS client machine goes to sleep (example, when the laptop lid is closed), or is locked for a long time during an active Anyware session, the session might not resume, and the "Reconnecting..." screen will be displayed for an extended period.
If the client fails to automatically reestablish the session after a sleep event, disconnect the client by selecting "Connection - Disconnect" from the menu or closing the client window, and then manually reconnect to the Anyware Agent host.
Caps Lock and Kana state can go out-of-sync when a Japanese keyboard is used
When a Japanese keyboard is used on the client side in a PCoIP session, the Caps Lock state can be out-of-sync on the host side if the Caps Lock key is pressed outside of the PCoIP client window.
On the client machine, set the input language to non-Japanese when a Japanese keyboard is used.
Do not press the Caps Lock key outside of the PCoIP client window when a Japanese keyboard is used.
If the Caps Lock state is out-of-sync inside a PCoIP session, disconnect and reconnect to the host.
PCoIP Client quits unexpectedly when exiting full screen while audio source is running (MacBook Pro)
Exiting full screen mode while an audio source is running may cause the session to quit unexpectedly. This issue affects clients running on recent MacBook Pro hardware.
Stop audio sources, including video with audio, before leaving full-screen mode to avoid this issue.
If the session does disconnect, reconnecting will resume the session.
Incorrect macOS Client Size When the macOS Menu Is Hidden
If the macOS menu is not hidden, the client Window is sized incorrectly when entering fullscreen mode. This can cause the remote system desktop to be drawn beyond the bottom of the screen.
On the macOS client computer, set Automatically hide and show the menu bar to In Full Screen Only or {}Always{}.
The name of network shown in Anyware Health Monitor does not change during a session
In Anyware Health Monitor, the name of network shown will not change during a session even if the actual network changes.
For example, if an ethernet cable is pulled out and the system switches to WiFi, the name of network will not change in the Anyware Health Monitor display until the session is disconnected and reconnected.
MacOS support bundler issues
Several issues have been identified with the support bundler for the macOS client.
In-session menu bar not hiding on MacOS
If the MacOS System Preferences option to "Never Hide Menu Bars" is enabled, the menu-bar will remain visible in the PCoIP session and results in a scroll-bar on the right side of the screen.
Disable the "Never Hide Menu Bars" System Preference on MacOS.
macOS client only detects audio output device at session start
The macOS client will not detect a change in the audio output device while in session.
Disconnect and reconnect to the session when changing the audio output device.
PCoIP Client in window mode can be limited to 30 fps
For high resolution displays with dimensions larger than 3840x1600 the maximum fps will be limited to 30.
To enable up to 60 fps either set the client in full screen mode or reduce the window size to dimensions less than 1600 pixels.
macOS client may only minimize one display on OS X 10.11
If you launch the PCoIP Software Client in OS X 10.11 and you have not clicked anywhere within the display before using the minimize hot key (Ctrl+Alt+M), the display that has not been used will not be minimized. This does not occur in macOS 10.12 (Sierra) or 10.13 (High Sierra).
Click with the mouse on both displays of the client any time before pressing Ctrl+Alt+M, and both displays will be minimized.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Datalogic barcode scanner cannot be redirected when bridged in macOS
The Datalogic Quickscan QS6500 barcode scanner does not work when the device is bridged.
Do not bridge the device. The device works as expected with the remote host when it is not bridged.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
Audio input in PCoIP Software Client with PCoIP Remote Workstation Card does not work
When in session with a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card, PCoIP Software Client supports audio out from the host, but not audio into the host.
