On an iPad, the connection bar will now:

• Initially start docked to the right side of the screen.

For both iPads and iPhones, the position of the connection bar will be saved across connections.

If you are looking for the Add PC/Workspace button, it has moved to the middle of the bottom toolbar.

With respect to bug fixes, below are some highlights:

• Fixed an issue where session rotation was not working on iOS 16.

version 10.4.6

Mar 6, 2023
Version 10.4.6
Welcome to the first release of 2023! There's a lot planned for this year, so stay tuned!

We want the Remote Desktop Client to be friendly, reliable and trustworthy. For that reason, we removed the prompts for camera and microphone access from the first run experience. If a connection bookmark or published resource requests camera or microphone access, we'll let you know so you can decide whether to grant permission or not.

We also fixed some bugs and added some small additional features:

• Integrated privacy statement compliance flows for select geographical regions.
• Added functionality to easily delete all AVD workspaces and associated keychain items.
• Worked around an iOS 16 change that broke Korean input.
• Addressed a bug that stopped the Apple Pencil from working when connected to Windows 8.1/Windows Server 2012R2 and earlier.

Note that this release removes support for iOS 14 and is only compatible with iOS 15 and 16.

The biggest change in this release is that you can now dynamically change the orientation (landscape vs portrait) of the remote session while connected to Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and later. Set your orientation preferences in Settings > Display.
