So I just upgraded to the 16" M1 Max MBP, and I'm trying to use Citrix Workspace with my iPad as a second monitor, but I'm just getting a black screen on my iPad (with a black cursor, meaning it's "registering" a mac and not the PC in the Citrix window).

I turned off the setting in mission control that says "use displays as separate spaced" like I had done previously on my old MBP, but still getting the black screen.

Does anyone have any insight into how to set up an iPad Pro to work as an second screen with a 16" M1 Max MBP to run Citrix Workspace?

Last night i setup my new macbook pro m1. Citrix is not recognizing the second monitor i have. Spoke to my IT department and they have no idea. Probably a new problem. Apple support has no solutions either. I believe this is a citrix m1 app problem. will have to wait for a fix from Citrix

Two years later I can confirm this remains an issue. The monitor shows up, sort of, but the main laptop screen glitches out and is all grey and unusable while only part of the content is visible on the external display. Citrix is garbage bloatware and deserves to go under for its poor quality.

Citrix is horrible, especially for multi-monitor support. My PC at work has multiple displays and Citrix will regularly freak out and not display correctly, or I'll move the window from one display to another and only half of it will show up (and the other half behaves like it's off-screen even though there's plenty of screen space for it).

The problem must lie between both the host computer and the Citrix server and how they've got individual apps configured or your specific user profile (if your workplace goes that route).

While I've never tried to expand a Citrix window to straddle two displays on my Mac (which I can't even do with MacOS apps since I've got 'separate displays get separate Spaces' turned on, at least it doesn't flip out when I move my session from one display to another like it does on my Windows machine at work.
