TimeZone redirection not working on iOS Remote Desktop App
Since the clock change on the 29th the RD iOS app is not redirecting the correct time on the server.
I can see this was fixed over summer in the macOS RD app, but it’s still in an issue on iOS.

Same problem here.
Microsoft, please fix this, we have hundreds of users that are affected.

I just checked for updates on the remote app for iPad.
No updates available.
Launched the RA and verified the time issue still present.

Any movement from Microsoft on this one, no new iOS clients fixes coming out?

Having the same issue.
Time is 1 hour behind on the iPad app
Time is correct if launched on Remote Apps from windows machine.
iOS v17.1.1
Microsoft Remote Desktop App v10.5.2 (5374)
launched the MS remote app on my iPad and ran the w32tm /tz
launched Remote App on my windows machine and ran the w32tm /tz

I have the same from the latest iOS version on my iPhone.
I've reproduced the following: When you go into the time settings of the AVD and hit the "Adjust for daylight savings time automatically" slider, the slider "blips" (which seems buggy) and then the time rolls forward an hour and is then set correctly. Users can't change the time but this workaround allows them to do it themselves. - KevHalIron Contributor
Got exactly the same situation. Users devices on IOS is 1 hour behind. It looks like it swapping the daylight and standard time the wrong way round when connecting via the iOS RD Client App.
Works fine on Web Client and Windows Devices.

Hopefully they can fix it soon.
I also posted on the AVD Community forum yesterday as I hadn't seen this post until now Time Redirection not working with iOS RD Client app - Microsoft Community Hub

Apologies, I have updated the RD Client to version 10.5.2 and the bias and boundaries have updated. However the daylight boundaries are different for the M, D and DoW compared to the RDP client on Windows.
H:\>w32tm /tz Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: -570min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias) [Standard Name:"Cen. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:4 D:1 DoW:6)] [Daylight Name:"Cen. Australia Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:9 D:5 DoW:6)]

Hi,
I understand the issue is relating to the RD client not able to pick up the boundaries of daylight saving and standard time. You can check this in Command Prompt using the command 'w32tm /tz'.
Here is output taken while using the RD Client (10.5.0) on iOS 16.7.2. The time zone ID is unknown, the bias is incorrect, and the date boundaries are unspecified.
H:\>w32tm /tz Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_UNKNOWN Bias: -630min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias) [Standard Name:"Cen. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(unspecified)] [Daylight Name:"Cen. Australia Daylight Time" Bias:0min Date:(unspecified)]
Following is output taken from the RDP client on a Windows local machine. All information is set correctly.
H:\>w32tm /tz Time zone: Current:TIME_ZONE_ID_DAYLIGHT Bias: -570min (UTC=LocalTime+Bias) [Standard Name:"Cen. Australia Standard Time" Bias:0min Date:(M:4 D:1 DoW:0)] [Daylight Name:"Cen. Australia Daylight Time" Bias:-60min Date:(M:10 D:1 DoW:0)]
Can this be corrected in the next RD Client release for iOS?

Hi ,
If you have the latest IOS Remote Desktop app installed, then your best option is to either manually change the timezone in the session your in and or create a support ticket with Microsoft.
Because it seems to be a new issue that Microsoft hasn't tackled yet in the previous app versions.
