2022.4.1
Release date: 9 May 2022
Processes created in Studio 2022.4 with Windows and cross-platform compatibility now start with up to 50% faster compared to the previous release.
To take advantage of this, remove all unused dependencies from your workflow.
Robot now uses the latest .NET release, .NET 6. Windows and cross-platform projects now also target .NET 6.
We are happy to announce that with the 2022.4 release, UiPath Assistant becomes available on macOS, enabling you to access automations right from your desktop. The Auto-Update functionality now also supports Assistant and Robot on macOS.
A guided tour is now available in Assistant to help new users quickly learn and discover its menus and functionalities. This tour is automatically launched when Assistant is opened for the first time and can be started at any later time from the Preferences menu.
The new Workflow Events activities pack contains a new activity, Send Interim Result, enabling communication between UiPath Apps and processes for attended robots. These activities enable you to send interim process results (IPR), reducing the time to display process results.
This pack is meant to be used when the time to start a process is a bottleneck in your automation and you need to wait for an entire automation to complete to obtain the process results.
Starting with 2022.4, UiPath Robot supports authenticating in a Windows session using Azure AD credentials (azuread/john.doe@example.com). This helps you run unattended automations in environments where you only have cloud Azure AD implementations.
The Robot JavaScript SDK now has its own release notes page. Here you can see all the new features, improvements, and bug fixes for each version, starting with 1.2.7.
The Orchestrator URL used for Interactive Sign In can be changed from the command line interface.
In this release, we ship a new robot authentication mechanism that uses the OAuth 2.0 framework as the basis for its authentication protocol, meaning unattended robots can connect to Orchestrator using a client ID - client secret pair generated via machine template objects. The client ID - client secret pair generates a token that authorizes the connection and provides the robot with access to Orchestrator resources.
Client credentials allow the UiPath Robot to access resources by using its own credentials, instead of impersonating a user. When the robot requests resources from Orchestrator, Orchestrator enforces that the robot itself has authorization to perform an action since there is no user involved in the authentication.
Starting with 2022.4, you can view the execution history of each process in UiPath Assistant. This provides a way to track processes, see the status and any errors if available.
- The robot could not change the resolution on the Windows 11 console session.
- In rare cases, an invalid token was used as a reference when the
LoginToConsole
parameter was set toNO
. - The Send SMTP Mail Message activity would sometimes hang or not complete when used multiple times in a short time span.
Display Name
was missing from Assistant when a job was started from Orchestrator.- UiPath Assistant would stay in a suspended state after an Interactive Sign In session expired.
- The authentication flow would break when multiple background processes were run without RobotJS consent.
- RobotJS would not work when the machine name was in Chinese.
- Starting with 2022.4, the PiP session timeout is uses the
UIPATH_PIP_SESSION_TIMEOUT
environment variable instead of UIPATH_SESSION_TIMEOUT. -
Unattended background automations on service-mode robots run by default under the built-in "Local Service” Windows user. Prior to this, the username and password configured in Orchestrator were used.
Note: To use credentials set in Orchestrator, you need to configure theUIPATH_HEADLESS_WITH_USER
environment variable on the robot machine and set the value toTrue
. - The 2022.4 Robot is not compatible with the 2019.10 Orchestrator.
After converting a Robot from Service-Mode to User-Mode, the XML files in the NuGet Packages aren't accessible after the migration is complete and the following error message is displayed:
C:\Users\john.doe\.nuget\packages\HelloWorld\1.0.0\lib\net45\Main.xaml
is denied".
.nuget\packages
) by the Local System user that the robot is running service under.
When converted to User Mode, NuGet packages from that folder are no longer accessible as the current user that runs the Robot does not have permissions to view or edit those files.
If you choose to delete packages from the original folder, the Robot reinstalls the processes in the configured folder under the user's permission. This way, the Robot has access to the files whenever it needs to run them.
.nuget\packages
to .nuget\packages_new

folder and download the processes in it so they can later be used.
%userprofile%\.nuget\packages
folder. You can set a different folder in one of the following ways:
- During installation, by installing from the command line with the option
PACKAGES_FOLDER
. -
After installation, by manually editing the
uipath.config
file:- Open the
uipath.config
file in a text editor. By default, the file is located inC:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio
. - In the
packageSettings
node, add thepackagesInstallationFolder
key with the path to the new folder as its value. -
Save the changes and restart the robot.
For example, add the following touipath.config
to change the download location toC:\nuget
.<packageSettings> <add key="packagesInstallationFolder" value="C:\) uget" /> </packageSettings>
<packageSettings> <add key="packagesInstallationFolder" value="C:\) uget" /> </packageSettings>
