Modified on Fri, 17 Dec 2021 at 11:44 AM

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.

When prompted for work email or server name, use:

Login.designmanager.com

and your DM username and password


This will restore Citrix back to a default installation.


Optional steps:

When logging in via Safari, if Design Manager does not automatically launch when clicking the icon, it may be required to reset the saved website data and cookies:


  • Launch Safari Browser and select Safari from the Menu on top > go to Preferences..

From the Go menu, select Library, as shown below. The Library folder will open.


Navigate to the Application Support folder.  Remove any Citrix program directories


Look in Application Support for any leftover com.apple.citrix entries and remove



Restart the computer and use the Citrix installer to re-install the Citrix Workspace app
