Known Issues
- Using Workspace ONE Access to publish CloudXR applications (using a machines IP address) can cause a 30 second delay in launching the CloudXR application from XR Hub.
- Kiosk mode is in Tech Preview for Meta Quest devices as Meta does not support a native Kiosk Mode for Meta Quest devices.
- VMware implements some of the typical Kiosk mode functionality for Meta Quest devices with XR Hub, but the following limitations should be noted:
- Kiosk Mode requires “developer mode” physical access to the device to run ADB commands.
- XR Hub requires delegated administration rights from Workspace ONE UEM.
- There might be a delay between device boot and triggering of kiosk mode.
- Access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings are blocked after kiosk mode is triggered.
Resolved Issues
- Meta Quest 3 controllers now appear when using a Meta Quest 3
- Fixed an issue where a restart caused XR Hub to get stuck on the loading screen
- Fixed an issue where the user menu could get stuck open

[CRSVC-49001] – macOS Freestyle Workflows not getting assigned. (6000055)
- When enrolling the device, it is not being assigned to the workflow promptly. Sometimes, the assignment process takes several hours.
- Even after assignment, the workflow execution and status update take a significant amount of time to appear in the device details workflow.
- The following error may also be observed in the Workspace One Intelligent Hub log:
- 2024-05-27 14:51:08.020770+0530 0x582f Error 0x0 1195 0 hubd: (Bootstrapper) [com.vmware.hub.bootstrapp
- Use high level “connect by name” APIs like URLSession
- To support VPN On Demand you must use some sort of connect by name API. These includes
CFSocketStreaand anything layered on top of that (includingURLSession). Doing separate resolve then connect is usually more work and is incompatible with VPN On-Demand. - Note: BSD Sockets does not have a connect by name API. Therefore, try to avoid using these if your app is going to leverage Workspace ONE per-app Tunnel solution.
EVC Mode compatibility with Horizon Edge Gateway appliance (6000051)
- Kubernetes pods fails to initialize in Horizon Edge Gateway appliance when its deployed in lower EVC modes.
- Following error registered in Kubernetes pod logs.
“Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v2”
- Accessing OneDrive as a default save location for the Office application in the RDSH application uses Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) to persist the registry settings in all farm nodes.
