Browser support for Microsoft Edge based on Chromium Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium is now supported for accessing Citrix Receiver forWeb sites from internal network connections and through Citrix Gateway. StoreFront Protocol Handler Support now includes Chrome devices with Workspace app for Android When users on Chrome devices open a Citrix Receiver for Web site, with Citrix Workspace app for An‑ droid 1912 or higher installed, the browser automatically opens ICA files using Citrix Workspace app for Android at launch. The client detection work flow for Android—which determines whether Citrix Workspace app for An‑ droid is installed—is now identical to Citrix Workspace app for Windows and Citrix Workspace app for Mac when the Chrome browser is used on Chrome devices. In previous releases, users on Chrome devices were required to manually open a downloaded ICA file first. Support for app protection policies StoreFront 1912 supports app protection policies to enhance security when other Citrix components, such as Citrix Workspace app and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops delivery controllers, also support the app protection feature. App protection policies are set at the Delivery Group level, and Citrix Vir‑ tual Apps and Desktops determines whether app protection policies are used. You need to manually enable the app protection feature within StoreFront. When StoreFront receives requests containing the HTTP header X‑Citrix‑AppProtection‑Capable from a Citrix Workspace app that supports app pro‑ tection policies, StoreFront automatically sends a smart access tag to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops indicating that it supports app protection policies. For details of configuring Delivery Groups with app protection policies, see App protection. © 1999–2021 Citrix Systems, Inc.

At this release, Desktop Appliance sites are no longer supported, and we recommend using Citrix Workspace app Desktop Lock for all non‑domain‑joined use cases. Warning: When you upgrade to StoreFront 1912, any Desktop Appliance sites in your deployment are au‑ tomatically removed. See Upgrade StoreFront. StoreFront PowerShell SDK The StoreFront PowerShell SDK has been republished as version 1912. You can no longer create or manage Desktop Appliance sites using PowerShell.
