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
