Citrix Workspace Launcher Not Opening on Mac: Troubleshooting Steps

Are you experiencing issues with Citrix Workspace Launcher not opening on your Mac? This can be frustrating, especially if you rely heavily on Citrix apps for work or personal use. In this article, we'll outline some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue.

Using an outdated uninstaller

One common cause of the problem is using a lower version of the uninstaller than the installer Workspace version. This may leave behind some components on your machine, which can prevent the launcher from opening properly. To avoid this, make sure you're using the latest Uninstaller version that matches or exceeds the installed Workspace app version.

Accessing the Uninstaller and Installer

If prompted, select 'Open Citrix Workspace Launcher' and check the box next to it. You'll find the Uninstaller for the Workspace app along with the Installer pkg in this menu. From here, you can download the latest Citrix Workspace app DMG from Citrix Downloads.

Manually uninstalling the Workspace app

Instead of using third-party App cleaners, you can manually uninstall the Workspace app by following these steps:

1. Navigate to `~/Library/Application Support/Citrix Receiver` and launch the Uninstaller app shipped along with the Citrix Workspace app.

2. Delete the Citrix Workspace app from `/Applications`.

3. Quit the Workspace app from the Status Menu dropdown (quitting from the main menu won't work).
