Google LLC today expanded its partnership with server, application and desktop virtualization firm Citrix Systems Inc. The companies, which have had a long-running partnership that dates back to. The new Citrix Workspace app (formerly known as Citrix Receiver) provides a great user experience - a secure, contextual, and unified workspace - on any device. It gives you instant access to all. The Citrix Workspace app runs the Virtual Applications & Desktops and must be installed on your computer for them to work. Open up your internet browser of choose (we suggest Google Chrome). I use Citrix Workspace App on a daily basis. However, what you are referring to in the browser an extension, it is distinctly different from the app itself, which use entirely different protocols for connecting. Citrix Workspace app launches as an isolated process from the browser.

Unidesk recommends including the OS Type and OS bit level in the name, for Example Google Chrome 31 Win7x32. For versions remember that when choosing a layer you can see the version name but not the version description. Use naming that will allow you to differentiate versions appropriately. For example “1.0 12-12-2013”.
None.
If you are using a GPO to disable updates just add a version to your layer and open Chrome it will automatically update.If you have used the registry setting to disable updates modify the registry setting to a number other than 0 and open chrome, it will update then you can set the registry entry back to 0.Note: If this doesn’t work for you let me know I was not able to test this in the lab.
It is not possible to add custom extensions for a single user with a NP desktop.
Ensure Google Chrome v.24 or later version is being used. This version has a couple of fixes regarding the usage in terminal service environment Citrix or Microsoft.
Open Properties from the published application settings of Google Chrome on the Delivery Service Console or Citrix AppCenter Console.
Select Location under Properties and add the parameter --allow-no-sandbox-job --disable-gpu in the Command line.
Click OK to save the settings.
Refresh the application on the client workstation and open the browser.
Note: The administrator can publish the Google Chrome application and it works fine for non-flash based websites. If the user browses to a flash based website, the Chrome browser flash plugin crashes. In order to avoid this issue follow the instructions on Disable PepperFlash in Chrome.

Problem Cause
This issue is not regarding Citrix XenApp. The same error and behavior occurs if the user starts the Google Chrome browser through Microsoft RemoteApp technology. The application starts but the same error appears, however when starting a Remote Desktop application, it starts without any error. The issue occurs with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
