Exam UiPath-ADPv1 Topic 1 Question 1 Discussion

The UiPath Remote Runtime component is a component that enables the automation of remote applications or desktops, such as Citrix Virtual Apps, Windows Remote Desktop, or VMware Horizon, by using native selectors. Native selectors are expressions that identify UI elements reliably and accurately, without relying on OCR or image recognition activities1. The UiPath Remote Runtime component works as follows:
It is installed on the remote server where the applications or desktops are hosted.
It communicates with the dedicated UiPath extension that is installed on the client machine where Studio or Robot is installed.
It gathers information about the targeted UI elements of the remote applications and sends them to the corresponding extension.
It allows the extension to generate native selectors for the remote UI elements in UIExplorer, a tool that helps you create and edit selectors2.
The UiPath Remote Runtime component is required for automating in virtual environments, as it provides a bridge between the remote server and the client machine, and enables the use of native selectors, which are more reliable and efficient than OCR or image recognition activities3.
