Release Notes
Client SDK for macOS 21.03.1
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.
Release 21.03.1 of the Client SDK for macOS is a maintenance release which replaces and deprecates 21.03. It includes the following:
- Bug fixes and security updates.
Fixed issue with USB Devices menu with macOS client running on Catalina or Mojave
Fixed an issue with the USB driver which prevented USB devices from being connected to a remote system.
Fixed issue with PCoIP Ultra GPU Offload
Several libraries required to support GPU offload were not included in the Client SDK. These are now packaged with the Client SDK.
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.
PCoIP Client will crash on illegal instruction on M1 Mac with PCoIP Ultra GPU Offload
If PCoIP Ultra GPU Offload or Auto Offload is enabled on the PCoIP Agent, the PCoIP Client running on an M1 Mac will crash due to an illegal instruction that Rosetta 2 cannot translate for the M1 processor.
To disable PCoIP Ultra on the PCoIP Client for macOS, add the following line to ~/.pcoip.rc:
pcoip.enable_h264 = 0
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.
