Release Notes
Client SDK for macOS 24.07.4
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 24.07 of the macOS SDK contains bug fixes, stability improvements, and security enhancements.
Anyware Client Closed Unexpectedly While Attempting to Connect to a Broker in FedAuth Mode
Previously, Anyware Clients could occasionally close unexpectedly without an error message while attempting to establish a PCoIP connection with a broker via Federated Authentication. This issue has now been fixed, and the Anyware Client launches the default web browser when authenticating using Federated Authentication.
Issues Establishing Sessions When Using CMSG 23.12
Occasionally, session establishment when connecting to a CMSG version 23.12 with Anyware Client version 23.08, 23.12 or 24.03 failed. This issue has now been fixed.
Connectivity Issues on Anyware Clients Using Federated Authentication with IDP Running on Custom Port
Sometimes, Anyware Clients version 23.12 or 24.03 using Federated Authentication with IDP Running on custom port could not connect to PCoIP sessions. This issue has now been fixed.
Native Portrait Displays are not Supported
Monitors operating in the native portrait orientation are not supported in Anyware sessions. Use of portrait monitors in-session results in screen layout with incorrect orientation.
Do not use portrait oriented monitors during Anyware sessions. Instead, use landscape monitors.
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.
