Citrix Workspace For Mac Catalina



Although it was all OK before (and in use by hundreds of other users, just not in Mac OS Catalina) I double-checked, in case perhaps Catalina was just more strict in something we could've missed. Currently we install Citrix Workspace 1907 using SCCM Task Sequence. If Mac device is connected to the internet, it will reach out to the Apple Services to verify and proceed with the installation. If still on this specific build, autoupdate will proceed to upgrade to the latest release with no issue. Workspace App for Mac 20.02 has been re-released and does not exhibit this issue.
