Release Notes
Client SDK for macOS 23.04.1
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.
In addition to bug fixes and stability enhancements, the PCoIP Client SDK for macOS 23.04 introduces the following:
Support for PCoIP Ultra and Collboration on Apple Silicon
The Client SDK for macOS 23.04 introduces support for PCoIP Ultra when running on an Apple Silicon (M1 or M2) Mac. With the addition of PCoIP Ultra support, the Client SDK for macOS now also supports Collaboration, allowing users to host and connect to collaboration sessions.
PCoIP Ultra and Collaboration are supported in all client modes: Standard Client mode, High Performance (Preview) mode, and High performance client mode.
Support for PCoIP Ultra Collaboration in SDK Clients
The PCoIP Client SDK for macOS 23.04 now includes a method that consumes the Invitation URI for a PCoIP Collaboration Session, enabling SDK clients to join Collaboration sessions. For more information, see The Collaborator Broker Client Example.
Up to 5 collaborators can join a single collaboration session. Once 5 collaborators join a collaboration session, additional participants will not be able to join, unless one or more collaborators leaves the session.
Support for Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (DTH-167)
The Client SDK for macOS now supports the newer version of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (DTH-167). This device is supported with both local termination and bridged connection modes when connecting to PCoIP agents for Windows and Linux (PCoIP Graphics Agent for macOS is not supported).
Introduces Support for macOS 13 (Ventura)
This release introduces support for macOS 13 (Ventura), and removes support for macOS 11 (Big Sur).
Bottom of screen no longer cut-off on MacBook with Notch
When running a full-screen PCoIP session on a MacBook with Notch Screen now functions as expected.
Dropdown menu for framerate now properly updated on monitor topology change
Dropdown menu for framerate is properly updated when going from two or more fullscreen monitors to one fullsscreen monitor
Anyware Client no longer attempts internet connection in closed network
Anyware Client 23.04 corrects an issue where the PCoIP client could attempt to make a connection to the internet at startup.
PCoIP Client can connect to Remote Workstation Card with root certificate
The PCoIP Root CA cert may be installed into a client system in order to enable access to the Remote Workstation Card web user interface. Installing this certificate no longer prevents the PCoIP client from establishing a PCoIP session with the same Remote Workstation Card using the legacy direct connection method.
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.
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.
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.
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.
