Disable Citrix Autorun on MacOS

(Just for my references)

Environment:

1.     MacBook Pro 2019 Intel

2.     MacOS: Ventura 13.0

3.     Citrix Workspace: version 22.10.0.44(2210)

 

Symptoms

Citrix Workspace always automatically run and pop up the login window during every reboot. And there is no option on the GUI to disable it.

 

This is ridiculous because user won’t use it all the time.

 

Solution

1.     Go to folder /Library/LaunchAgents: cd /Library/LaunchAgents

2.     List the Citrix plist files: ls -l com.citrix.*

3.     To be on the safe side, copy these plist files to a backup location: cp ./com.citrix.* ~/Downloads/citrix_backup

 

4.     Delete 1 file: sudo rm -f com.citrix.ReceiverHelper.plist

5.     Edit com.citrix.safariadapter.plist : sudo vi com.citrix.safariadapter.plist

6.     Find the value “RunAtLoad”, change it to “false”



7.     Reboot and the pop up window should be gone.
