Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that the latest release of the Citrix Receiver for iPhone (v1.0.3) is now available on the Apple AppStore. This version has just become available on the Australian Apple AppStore (on the 25th August 2009), so for those in other timezones, you may need to wait until the 25th as well.

This version adds support for Citrix Access Gateway Advanced Edition and completes the support for all Access Gatway Editions (including Secure Gateway).

Enjoy!

Regards,

Adam

Hi all,

Well, you may have read in Michael Harries' blog that Gordon Payne and I demonstrated a world first at iForum 2009 in Singapore on Tuesday.

I had the privilege of being able to show a sneak peek of the Citrix Receiver running on Android which Citrix Labs is currently working on. There has been a great response to the demonstration, and I'm really excited to be able to be working with the team to produce a tech preview later this year.

If you want to find out a little more, please take a look at the Citrix press release that was issued.

But don't worry, if you didn't make it to iForum Singapore, you can watch the demonstration for yourself:

Hi all,
As part of our recent closing keynote at iForum 2009 in Melbourne, Michael Harries and I demonstrated a brand new technology preview - XenApp Power and Capacity Management (otherwise known as Project Litoria from Citrix Labs).

Below is the video I have put together of our presentation and demo...

Hi all,

In June 2009, Michael Harries and I gave the closing keynote at Citrix iForum 2009 in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia where we demonstrated some exciting new technologies and innovative ways of thinking.

Below is a video of the two of us demonstrating how easy it is to provision and experiment with Citrix Delivery Center components using the Amazon EC2 Cloud and Citrix C3 Lab.

Hi all,

Just a quick post to let you all know that we have now released the new version of the Citrix Receiver for iPhone.

Version 1.0.1 has hit the AppStore and supports Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise Edition connectivity (as well as Standard Edition from the v1.0 release).

We have also released an Administrator's Guide for the Citrix Receiver for iPhone. It is available here, and is aimed to assist you in configuring your gateways and delivery center to allow for connections over the internet.

As always, if you have any issues, suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to leave us a message on the forums and we'll do our best to help you out.

Regards,

Adam

Hi all,

We have had some great feedback from our v0.9 release of the Citrix Receiver for the iPhone, and whilst you guys have been experimenting with what we have been calling project Braeburn, the team here have been powering on to give you v1.0.

The BIG feature of v1.0 is support for the Citrix Access Gateway Standard Edition with optional two-factor authentication, as well as Secure Gateway support.  We are really excited to give you this feature so you can get to all of your apps published on XenApp over the Internet from anywhere!

A point to note, to install v1.0, please uninstall the Technology Preview (v0.9) from your iPhone first. After doing that, go into the AppStore and install the "Citrix Receiver", future updates will then be automatically delivered without you having to do the uninstall step.

If you haven't seen the Citrix Receiver running on the iPhone, here is a demonstration video I produced for the Tech Preview release, the UI has changed a little, but the concepts and supported gestures are still the same.

Have fun with it, rate it and give us some feedback through the forums.  As you can see from our release rate between v0.9 and v1.0, we are on an accelerated path and we would love to hear your feedback (positive or negative), and any suggestions for future versions.

One of the exciting parts of being able to work on this project is the fresh and innovative approach we are taking to get the software in your hands as soon as we can so we can shape future releases.  It's fair to say that the Braeburn team is working schedules like never before and using a much more agile approach to the project's release.
We are aiming to be very transparent (through the use of this site) so that you know what's going on with current and future releases of the project.

The way we are approaching the initial release is that we will be getting our version one on to the AppStore as soon as we can so we can get feedback from all of you... our plan is that it will have the core technology which will allow you to manage and make connections to the Citrix Delivery Center and as I mentioned, we are working on a very aggressive schedule and we will be having many regular updates to the project available on the AppStore as we add additional feature after feature.

But it's not all about features that you have grown to expect from other the other App Receivers available to connect to Citrix infrastructure, we also have a few tricks up our sleeve that we think you'll love on your iPhone... let's just say we are thinking differently about ways to access and interact with your information whilst going mobile with the iPhone.

Each release will also incorporate suggestions from you guys as well (and of course the odd bug fix as well!), so please - make sure you contribute to the forums on this site (they will be up and running really soon).

Hi and welcome to the Citrix Receiver for iPhone community site,

First let me introduce myself, my name is Adam Jaques and I'm one of the Managers at Citrix who is responsible for the release of the Citrix Receiver for iPhone (known as project Braeburn).  If you haven't seen it already, I'm the guy doing the iPhone demo earlier on in the year of one of our very very very early prototypes!

The group that I work for within Citrix is called Advanced Products, we are a worldwide group that typically looks at future technologies that Citrix will develop or utilise within our product set.  In fact, earlier this year we caught up with Brian Madden whilst he was in Australia, he wrote about us on his site.

Project Braeburn is certainly a global effort with development taking place out of our offices in Sydney, Australia (can anyone guess why it's called Project Braeburn?), but also being contributed to by engineers and architects in the UK and USA. We are all really excited to be working on this project on such a great platform.

You'll be hearing much more from me over the coming months leading up to the first release of project Braeburn, but I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to the site and encourage you to check back here regularly to get the scoop on how the project is progressing.  This site will also give you a great opportunity... to interact directly with the team that is actually producing the project.

This site will allow you to:

-         Meet the team and find out what were thinking of for the evolution of what's sure to be a very cool piece of software.

-         Learn about how Citrix intends to release Project Braeburn onto the Apple AppStore.

-         Ask questions of the team through the forums.

-         Report any issues you have with the client when it is released and let us help you out.

-         Add any feature suggestions or point out anything we've missed so that we can get right on it! 

So once again, welcome! And I look forward to you being a regular visitor. 

Adam
