About Citrix Launcher
Citrix Launcher lets you customize the user experience for Android devices deployed by XenMobile. The minimum Android version supported for Secure Hub management of Citrix Launcher is Android 4.0.3. Citrix Launcher and the Launcher Configuration device policy are not compatible with Android Enterprise.
You can add theLauncher Configuration Policyto control these Citrix Launcher features:
- Manage Android devices so that users can access only the apps that you specify.
- Optionally specify a custom logo image for the Citrix Launcher icon and a custom background image for Citrix Launcher.
- Specify a password that users must enter to exit the launcher.
While Citrix Launcher enables you to apply those device-level restrictions, the launcher grants users built-in access to device settings such as Wi-Fi settings, Bluetooth settings, and device passcode settings. Citrix Launcher isn’t intended as an extra layer of security over what the device platform already provides.
