Apple has released macOS 13 Ventura, and it’s packed with features that make collaboration faster, smarter, and more intuitive. As always, it’s exciting to see what a new macOS version has to offer, and notable new features in this release include Stage Manager and Continuity Camera, along with enhancements to Mail, Spotlight, and Safari.

At Citrix we work hard to ensure that Citrix Workspace app is compatible with the latest macOS releases, and we’re happy to share that Citrix Workspace app for macOS 2210 is compatible with macOS 13 Ventura! Users of Citrix Workspace app 2210 can seamlessly upgrade to macOS Ventura without any interruptions.

Native Support for Citrix Workspace app for macOS on M1 Macs

Not only does Citrix Workspace app for macOS 2210 work seamlessly with macOS Ventura on Intel Macs and Silicon Macs using Rosetta-2, the Universal Architecture-supported build of Citrix Workspace app for macOS also works natively with Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 series). Our testing has shown that Citrix Workspace app delivered better performance on Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 series) when run natively, compared to when it’s run using Rosetta-2.

You can learn more about native support for Citrix Workspace app for macOS on Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 series) in this blog post. And, while users of Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 series) can download the Universal Architecture-supported build of Citrix Workspace app for macOS and start natively using the app right away, users of Macs with Apple Silicon (M2 series) will need to wait, but this is planned for the future.

Native Client Experience

We have also been working on enhancing native client experience for Citrix Workspace app for macOS users, and we’re excited to announce a preview that shows native icons of opened virtual apps on the Dock. With Citrix Workspace app for macOS 2210, upon opening virtual applications, the native icons are visible on the Dock. Users don’t have to depend on the Viewer icon to navigate to different virtual apps.

The Stage Manager in macOS Ventura is a powerful feature that provides an all-new way of organizing apps and windows to improve users focus on specific tasks. Native icons of opened virtual apps are also planned to be supported on Stage Manager!

Continuity Camera

macOS Ventura allows for an iPhone’s camera system to be used with a Mac, without having to plug in anything. With this new capability, some of the most popular features associated with the iPhone camera are available on Mac! Studio Light can illuminate a user’s face and dim the background, while Portrait mode can blur the background and keep the focus on the user. Center Stage lets the iPhone’s camera follow you so that your audience does not lose you as you move around during an online meeting, discussion, or demo. Desk View shows your desk and your face at the same time. Continuity Camera takes online meetings and collaboration to a whole new level!

Continuity Camera is a powerful feature to support collaboration, and we’re working to make it available on Citrix Workspace app for macOS in the future.
