After updating the MacOS to Big Sur or Monterey, Citrix may issue a transaction error. This typically occurs when the Mac has been through a few different installations and has some leftover data from a previous version.
First, download the latest Citrix Workspace from this link:
https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/mac/workspace-app-for-mac-latest.html
Go into the downloads folder, double-click the Citrix installation file, choose Uninstall Citrix and confirm
Next, use the Citrix installer to Install Citrix Workspace.
All default installation options are OK.
Check the box to Add account, if creating a desktop icon and not using the web portal.

and your DM username and password
This will restore Citrix back to a default installation.
