Seemless App Mode running IE from VDI on Android and iPAD tablets
Hi All
has anyone seen this ??
We are running some seemless apps - where we run particular applications from a pool of Virtual Desktops rather than RDS/TS
We running / publish MS IE browser in Seemless mode
So if a user access the Web base App ( IE running a particular URL address ) on a tablet device the process works one way on Android table compare to iPad ??
So to publish a seemless app we cfg it as a Managed Applications in vW console
Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Arguments : http:// .york.ac.uk/
this works fine when you access the App from an iPad
but from running the same app from a android device it runs IE but fails to load the arguments string
...so to make it work on android - we create a different seemless apps option to run on android tablets
again on the vW console we create a Manged Applications
Path : C:\User Files\bms_ie_script.vbs
Arguments : none ( not set )
we have to run a basic "vbs script" on the local VDI pool which runs IE with the URL path
eg..
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("iexplore.exe http:// .york.ac.uk/ ", 1)
and this then works for android tablets accessing the apps from the vdi pool ( seemless mode )
bizzare or what ??? can anyne explain why ??

Hi Pritpal,
Thanks for the detailed description, I was able to reproduce this using our iPad & Android devices. I can't explain the cause of the Android Connector not working correctly but it is not by design, all connectors should allow you to open an application with arguments.
I will open a Support Request so that this can be officially recocgnised as a defect to be corrected in a later release.
Glad you have a workaround for the time being
Best Regards,
David
