Installation

Beta Releases

We make Beta releases available via Apple’s TestFlight program. When we have a Beta release:

  1. In the browser on your iPhone or iPad, click the Beta release link.

  2. You will be taken to an Apple page that lets you install TestFlight if you haven’t already.

  3. Once TestFlight is installed, install the Beta release from the same page.

  4. The Beta Client will refuse to open after the Beta period ends. Install the production Client if you haven’t already.

Production Releases

Will be available in the App Store upon release.

Known Limitations

  • When a power-managed desktop resumes from sleep, the connection may time out prematurely with the error "There was a problem starting your desktop. Please contact your administrator." The end-user should retry the connection BEFORE contacting the administrator, since this usually works.

  • In the Procura app, dragging a subwindow leaves a trail of duplicate subwindows.

  • If you launch and then cancel the same desktop or app twice before it connects, it will not connect when you launch it for the third time.

  • Web Apps not designed for or tested with iPhones may require extra scrolling.

  • When updating to a newer version of the Workspot Client, two Client icons are shown on your device. The duplicate icon is deleted once the new version is fully installed.

  • On published apps, the "published app" icon may overlap the "Minimize" button.

  • Some Web Apps may not display or function properly if the Web server expects only certain browsers/device combinations.

  • On the UK-layout Magic Keyboard, Control, Option, and Command key sequences do not work.

  • When multifactor authentication is used, no error message is given if the multifactor challenge is ignored by the user.

  • When a user launches a desktop and cancels it before it opens, the next launch will not complete. Workaround: cancel the second launch. The next launch will work normally.
