The sample Collaboration Broker Client demonstrates how the APIs can be used to customize and control the pre-session and session phases of the Collaboration connection. Invoking the Collaboration Broker Client API is a two-step procedure, where as a first step, the Collaboration Broker Client Example is built.
The layout file format used to customize the session client is an UTF-8 XML text file.
The layout schema is a top-level <pcoip-client-branding/> element with a version
attribute describing the schema version, and containing the required elements

The following are answers to commonly asked questions when contemplating how to develop custom Anyware Clients using the Teradici Anyware Client SDK.
Q: Can I brand the pre-session client with my company logo and colors?
The Client SDK for macOS provides developers tools to create a custom Anyware client with a unique user interface and workflow, or to embed a PCoIP session into another program or solution. Clients built with the SDK can connect to remote desktops using Anyware agents or Remote Workstation Cards.
The SDK is provided as part of HP Anyware by special agreement with HP.
The usb session example demonstrates how the usb enumeration facilities provided as part of the PCoIPCore framework can be leveraged to setup a callback to notify the caller when usb devices are (un)plugged into a client. Furthermore, it illustrates how to use the PCoIPCore API to claim/release a device connected to the client.
Release 25.10 of the Client SDK for macOS contains bug fixes and stability enhancements.
The SDK package comes with a sample command line pre-session client called the Collaboration Broker Client Example, which calls the included broker client libraries and enables you to join a PCoIP collaboration session. The Collaboration Broker Client API Example demonstrates the success path for joining a PCoIP collaboration session.
Once you have successfully established a session between a Anyware Client and an Anyware host, you can start developing your own Anyware client. To begin, set up your client development environment, as discussed next.
To set up your client development environment:
In order to customize your session client, you must create a client branding package using the HP Custom Branding Package Utility. The HP Custom Branding Package Utility is located in the following location:
