Citrix Receiver 2.0 for Android

Written by Thomas Poppelgaard. Posted in Reciever

Citrix Receiver for Android 2.0 includes the following new features:

  • Connections to XenApp and XenDesktop through the upcoming release of Citrix Web Interface version 5.4.  This allows you to access your enterprise applications using Android’s built-in web browser working with Citrix Receiver.  Web Interface also supports 2 factor authentication secured using SSL.
  • A task switcher feature that allows users to switch between multiple host side applications. This is useful with Citrix DocFinder where you may have multiple applications open when viewing and editing your documents.  Switching between those applications is now a lot simpler thanks to our new task switcher
  • High quality, low bandwidth audio.  This enables users to view and listen to corporate presentations, videos and other content that is delivered to Receiver.  The low bandwidth requirement for high quality HDX audio means that this audio works well over WIFI as well as 3G connections.
  • Storing user passwords for accounts created on Citrix Receiver (Administrator configurable).  This means no more typing your domain password every time you start an application.  For administrators this feature can be controlled in the same way that password saving is controlled on other versions of Citrix Receiver -through the Citrix Web Interface Management console.
  • Support for time zone redirection allowing the time zone of the device to be used in the session.This is particularly useful for time based applications such as desktop sessions and calendar applications where the XenApp or XenDesktop data center is either running on UTC or in a different timezone to the end user.
  • Reliability and stability fixes.

Additional Features and Benefits

  • New User Experience Enhancements – Citrix Receiver includes several new HDX™ technology enhancements, extending a rich, high-definition experience to new touchscreen tablets and smartphones. Precise, multi-touch, intuitive gestures allow users to seamlessly interact with existing corporate apps that were never designed to run on touchscreen devices. Whether zooming in on a 3D graphic, flipping through a presentation, or creating a new document, even legacy applications respond like new with incredible speed and accuracy.  
  • Data Security for Any User and Device – Citrix Receiver now includes the new Citrix XenVault™ technology plug-in, ensuring that any document created by a corporate-delivered app can be automatically stored in an encrypted folder. This is an ideal solution for contractors and employee-owned laptops, allowing IT to maintain full security of corporate intellectual property without having to manage non-corporate devices.
  • Zero-touch, Silent Updates – Centralized management of applications, desktops and data gives IT complete control over security, performance, and user experience, with no need to own or manage the physical device or its location.  With Citrix Receiver, IT can now add or remove services and push automatic and scheduled downloads and updates centrally, with zero-touch from users.  
  • Open and Extensible Framework – Citrix Receiver supports a wide range of third-party plug-ins, including support for application delivery solutions like Microsoft App-V. Citrix also includes a comprehensive SDK that enables third party software and technology vendors to build additional plug-ins that enhance the Citrix user experience.
