Last Monday, we started getting multiple reports from MacBook users experiencing an issue with their Citrix Workspace app for Mac. At first the issue wasn’t very clear to use, because everybody reported it slightly different, but soon we noticed the common thread was the resolution. Affected users somehow got a very high resolution in their Citrix session, while their local screen resolution was normal. The Citrix session didn’t seem to adopt the local screen resolution.

If you would ran the Citrix Workspace App setup again all seemed to be fine. A Citrix session would adopt the local screen resolution upon connection. Soon as you rebooted the MacBook, the problem suddenly returned. Reinstalling the Citrix Workspace app again made the issue disappear.

We compared the Citrix Workspace App version we were both using and noticed a small difference. The affected user was running version 22.04.0.44, I was running 22.04.0.25. By the end of the day I upgraded my Citrix Workspace App to version 22.04.0.44 and rebooted my MacBook hoping I would also be able to reproduce the issue. And indeed I had the issue myself đŸ™‚
