Last Updated: 31 March 2016

These release notes cover the following topics:

Key Features

VMware Horizon Client for iOS makes it easy to access a Windows-based remote desktop or application from your iPhone or iPad with the best possible user experience on the Local Area Network (LAN) or across a Wide Area Network (WAN).

  • Work the way you want to - Use your iPad or iPhone to use a Windows-based remote desktop or application from any location. Support for the PCoIP display protocol and the VMware Blast display protocol from VMware means your remote desktop or application is fast and responsive regardless of where you are.
  • Best of both worlds - For the mobile device world, Horizon Client supports native iPad and iPhone gestures for quick and easy navigation around your desktop. For the Windows world, the full screen touchpad feature lets you touch anywhere on the screen to move the mouse pointer around the Windows-based remote desktop or application. Bridging both worlds, the Unity Touch sidebar makes it easy to browse, search, open, and close Windows applications and files, minimize windows, and switch between running applications, all without using the Windows Start menu or Taskbar.
  • Simple connectivity - Horizon Client for iOS is tightly integrated with VMware Horizon 6 and VMware Horizon 7 for simple setup and connectivity. Quickly reconnect to your remote desktop or application by selecting it on the Recent page.
  • Unmatched performance - The adaptive capabilities of the PCoIP display protocol and the VMware Blast display protocol mean your remote desktop or application is fast and responsive regardless of whether you are connecting over your corporate WiFi network or from your 3G, 4G, or LTE connected iPhone or iPad.
  • Secure from any location - At your desk or away from the office, your data is always secure. With RSA soft token integration, you need enter only your RSA PIN into Horizon Client when RSA authentication is required. No need for an RSA hardware token or RSA software token utility. Horizon Client also supports RADIUS authentication and smart card authentication.

Client

New Features in Horizon Client 3.0

  • Support for hosted applications - With this release of Horizon Client for iOS, you can securely access remote Windows-based applications and remote desktops running in a Horizon 6.0 environment. After launching Horizon Client for iOS and logging in to a Horizon 6.0 View server, you see all the remote applications that you are entitled to use, in addition to remote desktops. Selecting an application opens a window for that application on your iOS device. A remote application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed. A new -appName option has been added so that you can create URIs for connecting to a remote application by clicking a link in a Web page.
  • Favorite remote desktops and applications - You can select remote desktops and applications as favorites. Favorites are identified by a star. The star helps you quickly find your favorite desktops and applications. Your favorite selections are saved, even after you log off from the Horizon 6.0 View server.
  • Search Favorite Applications and Favorite Files - You can now search for applications and files in the Favorite Applications and Favorite Files lists in the Unity Touch sidebar.

Vmware Horizon Client 3.5 2017

Known Issues

  • The Unity Touch sidebar cannot show changes in the All Programs menu for new software that you install during that same session.
    Workaround: In order to see items for new software that you just installed, disconnect from the desktop and then connect again.
  • The Shift key in the top row of the onscreen keyboard or in the navigation keys is for entering key combinations, such as Ctrl+Shift. If you need to capitalize a letter or type an exclamation point (!) or question mark (?) or other symbol that you create by using the Shift key, use the up arrow as you would in the standard onscreen keyboard.
    Workaround: None.
  • In iOS 7, if you click a URL with the viewclient-securid:// prefix from a Web site to import a CTF string token, Horizon Client does not launch. This problem occurs only in iPhone or iTouch Safari. It does not occur in iPad Safari.
    Workaround: Press the Home button to put Safari in the background and then switch Safari to the foreground. When the message Open this page in 'VMware View?' appears, tap Yes to launch Horizon Client.
  • When you connect to an RDS (Remote Desktop Session) desktop with the PCoIP display protocol, a license is issued to your iOS device. If you later connect to the same RDS desktop with a third-party app that uses RDP (such as Microsoft Remote Desktop), a second license is issued to your iOS device. This problem occurs because PCoIP and RDP record different names for your device on the license server. For example, if your iPhone is named Jane's iPhone, PCoIP records the name as JANES-IPHONE and RDP records the name as Jane-s-iPhone.
    Workaround: None.
  • Japanese symbol mapping is incorrect when using a JA Bluetooth keyboard on an iOS 7.1 or later device, including the iPad mini2, iPad Air, and iPhone 5S.
    Workaround: Update your iOS device to iOS 8.1.x, or press the Eject key on the Bluetooth keyboard to invoke the onscreen keyboard and use the keys on the onscreen keyboard if you want to keep current iOS version.
  • If multiple Horizon clients connect to the same RDS desktop or remote application simultaneously and map to a location-based printer with the same name, the printer appears in the first client session, but not in later client sessions.
    Workaround: For the client sessions in which the printer does not appear, perform a manual refresh. For a remote desktop, press F5 or refresh the Devices and Printers window. For a remote application, close and reopen the application print dialog box. The location-based printer appears in the printer list.
  • Third-party input methods might not work correctly in Horizon Client. This problem can occur in iOS 8. Only iOS 8 supports third-party keyboards.
    Workaround: None.
  • On iOS 8, if you attempt to connect to a remote desktop using a self-signed certificate, Safari reports the error 'Your desktop has been disconnected. Unable to reconnect to desktop.' This problem occurs because self-signed certificates are not supported on iOS 8.
    Workaround: An administrator must install a CA-signed certificate on the View server and you must trust the certificate on your iOS 8 device. For information about installing certificates on a View server, see the View Administration document. For information about trusting certificates on an iOS device, see Using VMware Horizon Client for iOS. If the Blast Secure Gateway is disabled on the View server, an administrator must perform the following additional steps on the remote desktop to connect from iOS 8:
    1. Use mmc to import the CA-signed certificate into the Windows certificate store.
    2. Replace the sslHash key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREVMware, Inc.VMware BlastConfig with the key from the thumbprint of the certificate issued to the Blast Agent Hostname or IP address.
    3. Restart the Blast Agent VM.
  • Horizon Client for iOS does not work with the iOS 9 Picture-in-Picture feature.
  • Apple Command key shortcuts (for example, Command-A to select all) do not work on external keyboards with Horizon Client on iOS 9 devices.
    Workaround: Use Control (Ctrl) key shortcuts.
  • If you launch Horizon Client on the right side of Split View mode, connect to a remote desktop or application, and then enter presentation mode, the external monitor mirrors the entire screen (touchpad and desktop or application) instead of showing only the remote desktop or application. This is a third-party issue.
    Workaround: Move Horizon Client to the left side of Split View mode.
  • Onscreen keyboard input does not immediately switch between native iOS apps and Horizon Client in Split View mode. For example, if an iOS native app is on the right side of Split View mode and a Horizon Client remote application is on the left side of Split View mode and you input data in the iOS native app, when you click in the remote application, your input goes to the iOS native app instead of to the remote application.
    Workaround: Click another point to change the cursor position. The onscreen keyboard input is switched correctly.
  • When you select the VMware Blast display protocol to connect to a remote desktop and the UDP network protocol is used, your session might be disconnected.
    Workaround: Disable UDP networking for VMware Blast sessions. See 'Configure VMware Blast Options' in Using VMware Horizon Client for iOS.
  • If you use the VMware Blast display protocol to connect to a remote desktop or application with the French input method, and you enter the tilde (~) symbol, the keyboard locks.
    Workaround: To unlock the keyboard, enter a different symbol, for example, [, ].
