Product: Citrix Workspace app for Mac 2603.10 I appreciate the continuous modernization of solutions, including the transition from Secure ICA to Secure HDX in the Citrix Workspace app for Mac. However, announcing a deprecation and completely removing a feature in the exact same release (version 2603.10) deprives IT teams of the critical runway needed for a seamless transition. Forgoing a proper grace period for such an impactful architectural change poses unnecessary challenges to stable infrastructure management. Moving forward, I hope Citrix returns to the standard practice of providing advance notice for feature retirements, showing greater consideration for their customers' time and operational overhead.

Arthur, as you mentioned, Secure ICA deprecation was announced in CVAD 2402. Secure HDX has been available on CWA for Mac since 2409. I think there is a correction that needs to be made in the CWA for Mac docs to accurately reflect that. The norm is to announce deprecation of a functionality and eventually remove it in a future release. Due to prioritization constraints and unknown variables, it is difficult to provide a removal date at the time of deprecation announcement.

@Saurabh Bisani Thanks Saurabh, doc fix aside, removing Secure ICA from CWA for Mac in the same release it was deprecated (2603.10) is a serious mistake. The client has no LTSR to pin to, so the first bug or CVE forces users onto a build that already dropped it, with no safe path back. Removal can't track the client's release cadence, it has to track the backend: as long as a customer's CVAD still supports Secure ICA, CWA must keep supporting it too, and only drop it once the infrastructure itself stops supporting it. The core expectation is simple: if the infrastructure supported something yesterday, it should still work today. Admins shouldn't wake up to a previously compliant environment that is suddenly broken by a client update. Bottom line, this is a strategic miss that undermines trust in the platform, and that trust is far harder to rebuild than any single feature is to keep.
