Most Recent Citrix Receiver Mac OS X

Today I will be taking a quick look at installing Citrix Receiver on Mac OS X (10.13, aka High Sierra).

Once downloaded and opened the dmg file should put a disk icon on your Mac desktop.

The Install Citrix Receiver file does exactly as you would expect; it installs Citrix.

The Uninstall Citrix Receiver application uninstalls (removes) Citrix Receiver.

To find out more, including how to control cookies, see here.

We can install the client, configure it no problem but when we launch an application it start off OK, you get an icon in the dock and the black rectangle connection box in the middle of the screen but after a few seconds this disappears to be replaced briefly by a Windows spinner then this goes as well and after a few seconds the dock icon goes as well and thats it.

Weve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client, doing a cleanup after uninstall, different versions, etc, etc.

Were totally stumped so any suggestionsideas would be gratefully accepted.

Uninstall the old Receiver completely, reboot and then install the new version.

The other odd thing about it is that one Mac was working fine then all of a sudden just failed with nothing having changed to cause the problem (as far as we know).

Weve also tried logging in via the Web Interface and launching apps that way, same result.

Escape character is.

IIS logs look clean to me but Im no expert, attached snippets cover a failed app launch.

On the failing Macs, under System Preferences, Sharing, the Computer Name was blank.

Added in a Computer Name, working:) Now knowing what the problem was and having done some further research Im a little irritated that there was no error message or warning apparent or logged anywhere to give us a clue as to what the problem was.

Some sort of logging feature built into the receiver would have been a great help with this problem.

Looks like this has been a known issue for a while as documented in the following Citrix KB article: Cannot connect to Store Using Mac Receiver 11.3 Obviously this issue occurs with up to version 11.7 of the Receiver for Mac.

It would have been nice if the Symptoms sections contained more info: Windows based PCs can launch published apps in the same environment just fine Some Mac Computers can connect and launch published apps successfully and some cannot (because, as we now know, the working Mac computers have a computer name designated and the non-working ones dont).

You can enumerate applications When you attempt to launch a published application though, the viewer comes up, then goes away.

In either case, the published application (and possibly desktop) does not launch.

No errors or other indicators as to why from the client itself.

The client will also not startup any application, a message Cannot start application, contact your helpdesk will appear.
